If flowers grow in heaven Lord, then pick a bunch for me, then place in Mother's arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her I love her and miss her and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while.
My heart is deeply saddened at the loss of my mother-in-law, but I know ,she is with Jesus now, in a place of total, joy, peace and love. I also know that we all will be together again one day and what a celebration that will be. I am sending the Entire Brisson family my love, thoughts and prayers. Life won't be the same without "Mom Brisson" but we know that such a wonderful lady with all of her amazing attributes will live on in our hearts and minds forever. My love, sympathy and prayers are sent to everyone. I will be with all of you in my thoughts, prayers and in spirit.
Even though I was a step grandchild, 'Gram' always treated me like family. She always remembered every birthday and Christmas. Cheryl, Jennifer and I would always feel guilty when she sent us money in those cards and continued with our children. She was the definition of generous. With her love and time. I will always hold dear all the things she has knitted for me, including all of our Christmas stockings. I wish I could be there. All my love from Italy.
Tricia.
