If you see my mom in heaven, she won't be hard to find, she unique and one of a kind. She'll be the one with the prettiest smile, her angel wings she wears with pride, you'll see the twinkle in her eye. She'll be digging in god's flower beds, picking up god's red rose, she'll be playing with the smallest angels. No more burdens will she bear, she'll stroll about with strength and grace, so if you see my mom and grandma in heaven, will you take care of her for me. Place a kiss upon her cheek, and hug her just for me, you see she was my special mom and grandma. She'll sit and share god's golden throne, in god's beautiful heavenly home. Love you always and forever. Donna, Jonathan, and Joseph.
Our condolences on your loss.
