Throughout our lives you have stood by our side …
you have been a steadfast example of faith …
you were a pillar of strength and calm through the storms …
and even as you drew your very last breath in our arms, you left us with a peace that surpasses understanding.

We will never forget what you taught us, what you wrote in all the notes you left behind and all the prayers you said on our behalf.
You lived a life that exemplified God’s promises …
