You had a long memory for life's lessons; the good and the bad. You loved us to your last moments, even when we may have been unlovable. You had more strength, resilience, and character than anyone we knew; the kind you get when the whole world seems to be against you. You protected us, even when you were the one who needed protecting. We loved you unconditionally, even when we couldn't get you to do what was best for you. Our comfort in your passing comes with knowing that you are finally at peace, no longer struggling, and sharing life eternal with your Heavenly Father - Love forever ~ Your children."
