    Mom, I have thought often what to write, but I could not come up with anything. I, James, and Elisabeth are devastated yet joyful. We miss you Mom. And the rest of us still here on earth, we are devastated that we can no longer see, hold you, or talk to you. WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU.

    Your health and mobility were failing. Knowing you are without pain, suffering, or mobility issues, for that we are joyful. Now that you are with your daughter and my wonderful wife, that we are joyful for as well. But what we are most joyful for especially through all your pain and suffer, you continued loving. Now, you are with the with LOVE itself, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

    Lord, thank you for blessing us all with such a special lady, who I am fortunate enough to call Mom, even thought was my Mother-In-Law. She always treated me as a son.
