Mom,
It was week ago today, that we laid you to rest next to Dad, your beloved “Sailor Boy.” as you called him. I know you are in the best place one can ever imagine to be and a place we spend our life praying to end up at. My heart continues to mourn your loss. You will always be in my heart. I will always remember all the great things you did for me, my brothers and our dad, as a loving wife and mother.
Take care,
Your loving Son
