"No one will answer when we call your name.
Life as we know it will never be the same.
We not only lost our mother, we lost our best friend.
God answered our prayer
When He let us be with you at the end.
While we may be sad,
We are also happy knowing
You are with our dad.
God took a beautiful angel when He took you home to rest,
Which proves God only takes the best.
Good bye. We love you mom."
