A Final Farewell In our hearts, you will forever hold a place. Your memory is our keepsake with whom we will never part. In death, we love you still as we carry that keepsake close to our hearts and though you have left us, God has you in his keeping just as we have you in our hearts. The special bond between us will never be severed even though you have begun a new journey by the Great Spirit’s side. So for now we hold you in our hearts and say farewell until we meet again.
Love you mom, I know that we didn’t always see eye-to-eye but I also know you did everything possible to assure your children were safe from any harm. That you loved us truly to the point you would surprise us with little things for just being your kids, for example, the Green Slime (Matcha) you would surprise me with from time to time Though it saddens me that you have left your memory is with us and pops up even now showing the place that you kept in my heart and still keep in my heart. However, we will see you when our walk reunites in the Spirit World.
