Linds and family,
I am so so sorry for your loss, nothing can ever fill the void of a mothers love. She is pain free now and in Heaven where we will see her again someday. I have a poem that I read when I am thinking about my mom and I wanted to share it with you.
Thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I’ll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart. I love you Mom!
Love you honey, try to never frown, even when your sad because you never know who is falling in love with your smile
