Love and Thanks from the family
Mom, Thank you for teaching me honesty and integrity, for having a strong sense of right and wrong, for doing your best to prevent me from making poor choices, and for loving and caring for me. Thank you for guiding me to the cross at Calvary and the peace, joy and security of knowing my future. I know you're in the perfect bliss of our Lord's presence and that I will see you soon. Would you mind making some lasagna when I get there? Love, Tom
Mom, Now that I’m a mom too, I understand in a deeper way your unconditional love and hard work in raising me. Thank you for all your years, tears, laughter, worry and always being there for me.
PSA 115:16 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
Thanks mom for leaving me with the certainty of seeing you again.
Love Janet
