Dear Maria,

As I sit here, my heart aches with the weight of your absence. You were not just the mother of my grandchildren; you were a cherished part of my life, a beacon of love and laughter. I can still hear your voice, calling me “Mom,” and it brings both warmth and sorrow to my heart.

Thank you for the countless blessings you brought into our lives—your smiles, your laughter, and the way you always knew how to lift our spirits. I will forever treasure the moments we shared, the late-night talks, and the quiet understanding that passed between us. We were there for each other in ways that words cannot fully express, and I am so grateful for the bond we created.

As you rest in peace, know that your spirit will live on in the hearts of your children and grandchildren. I promise to keep your memory alive, sharing stories of your kindness and strength with them. You will always be a part of our family, and your love will continue to guide us.

With all my love,

Mom (Char)

Resilient, dogged every step of the way. Champions are who you raised. Sincerely mom, I am proud of you. You gave it your all without letting any obstacle get in your way. You proved to not only one but dozens who doubted the wave. The tsunami of greatness. You not only proved to I but my siblings that not only you can do it but we can do anything we put our mind to desire. Levitation with not only the power of God but with the power of love through each other.  This is writing proof that one day you will look down at not only I but the rest of your babies and be very proud of how far we’ve progressed.  A day that goes by without you on my cranium is impossible, I just hope you’re doing good mom. I love you Mom, you’re the greatest. 💙 Eternal love from your babies💙 - Angel 

My deepest sympathies for your loss. During this difficult time, remember the comforting promise found in God's word at Revelation 21:4: "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore." This hope of a future free from suffering can bring a measure of peace as you grieve.
