Oh Mom, where do I begin to count the ways you were there for all of us in your family? We were always at the forefront of your thoughts and actions-a true model of faith, compassion, love and selfless service for others-your reward is now with Jesus and Mary and your family in heaven and our roles are to continue to live, modeling the way you lived through our own thoughts and until it is our turn to meet God and you again face to face in heaven. I’ll love and treasure you always, Mom. 🙂
