Your mom was so beautiful. I met her at your Birthday party at Kikroys. She adored you and her whole family. Your Mm was so lucky to have such a devoted daughter. May she be welcomed by the Lord with the words we all long to hear, “Well done my good and faithful servant. Welcome Home.” -

Sending thoughts and prayers for your entire family as you mourn. You learn the best things in the world from your Mom and those lessons are never lost. In the quiet of the morning, you will hear her voice and remember the great moments. May your memories and faith be a reminder of that pure unconditional love. Until you meet again.

Oh, Cathy! I am so saddened to learn of the loss of your sweet Mom.
My own mother passed away in 1998, yet there are still times when I
think: Oh, Mother would get such a kick out of that (when I’ve heard
a funny story) – or – I wish I could just pick up the phone and share
(this) experience with Mother. I know I’d come away with more of her
wonderful wisdom to carry with me. But, rarely do I not think of her – and smile.If we’re lucky, God matches us with the Perfect Mother – a lifelong blessing.
I’d never met your mother, but from reading all the accolades from those
who had, she must have been pretty near perfect herself, which means
you’ll always have those wonderful, warm and happy memories to hold
in your heart – and she will never really be gone from your life.In sadness,
