A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.
May the many fond memories of your loved one provide you with peace and serenity at this time of loss.

Mom,
Thank you for giving me guidance a few days ago. I sure was not ready for the task you set me on. Plus I was not really sure what to do,until that night when I opened your book. I tried my best for you that is all I can do. I will miss you now and for ever. But i know you are happy still. Because you are with more people who loved you and missed you too.
God Bless you and Keep you always in his warm arms.
Your Daughter
