Mother, dear, no one knows better than yourself how much we shall miss your physical presence. Only the thought of your spiritual presence ever with us and the hope of the future, makes our grief bearable. God blessed us beyond measure, mother, when he made us your sons and daughters. Your patience with us ceased, your hope knew no bounds, and your love never failed.
May your leaving us ever keep in our minds this message, " Oh, to be like the blessed Redeemer."
