To our Dear Mother(in-law):



She was the most wonderful woman to grace this earth and we will miss her so very much. Luka is so lucky to be born to such a beautiful and loving mother while I am lucky that God brought us together as family through marriage and through the heart.



We will miss her companionship, her love, and her smile. Though she is no longer in physical pain, we do wish that we could still hold her and tell her again that we love her.



Now God has the most beautiful angel inside and out to watch over us and our future children. For this we are lucky.



We will miss her and always love her.



All our hearts,

Luka and Nancy
