There is such a hole in my heart.
I can't imagine what a life without mammaw will be like.
I will cherish all the memories of the time we have spent together through the years. It was an honor holding your hand on your journey to see daddy, Aunt Martha, and all your family that you so dearly missed.
Thank you so much for the strong values and wisdom you taught me.
You have been a role model and a prime example of what it means to be a strong, composed, and beautiful wife, mother, and grandmother.
Enjoy your grand reunion!

Though I have no personal ties to the deceased or to the family, I would still like to leave a comforting message...It is a great tragedy to lose a cherished loved one. However please know that you will have the opportunity to see your loved one again (John 5:28,29). God will call and your loved one will answer.
