Mom
It is not good-bye, but rather until we meet again. You have always been my inspiration and although I have never thanked you in words, I hope my actions have expressed my love and appreciation.

Mom
You will always be a part of me! Especially when I look in the mirror I see you looking back. I will always hold your memory in my heart.

Dearest Joan, You will be missed. I remember you piercing my ears with a needle, string and cork when I was a 19 year old bride just married to your brother. I'm 68 now. Glad we kept in touch even if by cards. You are leaving a wonderful legacy of so many children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, rest in peace, you are now with the angels!
