Marietta D. Layumas (aka Faye Hope)

In the 2 years that I've known you, you have shown me how much of a lovely woman you are. You are caring, compassionate, thoughtful, loving, kind, generous & so much more. You've worked hard to raise your family & was always there when needed. You have taken me as one of your own...such a privilege & for that, I am eternally grateful.
She was such a strong person & this strength shone through during her long fight with cancer. I know that one of the best testaments to her will be for us to carry on & become a source of strength to our own families.
I love you dearly & wish that we had more time together. I will cherish all of the great memories we had.
You will be greatly missed & your memory will live in us forever.
To you mommy I say.....I do not mourn your passing. Instead, I am filled with gratitude that you enriched my life in so many ways. This world was much improved by your being in it.

My Dearest Mother,

Words cannot convey the gratitude and love I feel for you.
From as far back as I can recall until the final days, you exuded magnificent strength and unbelievable courage.

Life in this physical world often posed hardships and challenges yet you handled it all with such grace and patience.

You gave your children and grandchildren the greatest gifts a mother and grandmother could give: true & unconditiinal love, compassion, wisdom, courage, and strength

Your beautiful smile and kind ways are forever embedded in our hearts and minds.

Mom, we will miss you...but this is not good-bye.
We carry you in our hearts. We will look to the Heavens and feel you smile down upon us. When we feel the warmth of the sun, we will know you are wrapping us in your arms...your loving reminder that you are with us.

Until we meet again...
I love you, Mom.

Dear Naty,

I know how much you loved your mother and how much you cared for her. You have our deepest sympathy and be assured that we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

My Grandma was always such a strong, brave, independent woman. She taught her children (my aunts and uncle) how to be just that way, as well. And they're teaching us (the grandkids) how to be the exact same way.

Grandma, you always knew what to say and/or do to make any of us happy again, and you would always help us off the ground after we had fallen. You may have never boasted about it much, but it's obvious that you were such a fantastic woman. Probably my definition of a hero.

Grandma, you have always done so much for your family, even when you weren't feeling well, and I wanted to thank you for it. Words couldn't possibly describe how much it means to me. I grew up with you always around, so I'm going to feel a bit weird without you.. but I know you'll still be around, watching me and everyone else from a greater place.

I'll be thinking of you everyday, even though I already did before. After all, it's really hard to forget someone that has always made such a strong impact on your life.

I hope one day I can be viewed exactly how people see you; a strong, wise, brave, independent, and beautiful woman.

I love you so much, and I always will, Grandma.

Mommy,

You are the best mom a son could ask for! Thank you for giving me life and watching over me as I grew up to be an adult ! Whenever, something new happens in my life , you are always the first one I break the news to. That will never change . I love you very much! Thank you for being my hero and mentor!

Your son,
