Mom,you look lovely and I am sure your heavenly self is even lovelier that your earthly self! I will miss your humor, your advice and your love. But I know you are home at last with all the others who love you, too, but had to go sooner than you. I knoww each of us will see you again, someday,and I know it will be glorious! Till then, I know you will watch over all of us. Much Love, Peggy.
