Personal note from Joyce Mosley- Mother

The conclusion of a new beginning

I never envisioned a day where I would have to write a conclusion speech when it came to you. Losing you is too intense.
My piece of perfection my one and only reflection I never imagined a day I would speak of your existence in past tense.

Simon prophesied Mary would feel as though a sword passed through her soul. But the truth is the real feeling is simply untold.

The pain of losing you is a word undefined in our language or culture. I wish you could’ve saw yourself from the eyes of your father and mother. You my child, you were like no other.

We discovered just how pure your soul is and how soft your heart was. The highlight of our accomplishments is you.
We will never recover or endure from the loss of such a beautiful girl, OH GOD, to lose someone as astonishing as you.

In 12 years you’ve touched so many lives. You were such an amazing child. I’ll only say I’ll see you later because this is only for a little while.

I never imagined an earth would exist where you were no longer walking in it, but be patient, this is only the conclusion of a new beginning.
