Words cannot describe the impact you had on our lives. Your love shaped our lives in ways words cannot express. We think of you and the quiet strength you carried. Thank you for every hug, every smile, and every moment. We will carry your lessons, strength, and love in our hearts always. From gentle advice to warm embraces — your love meant the world to us. You were more than a mom, grandma, sister, or nana; you were a confidant and a friend. Your presence brought peace, and your loss is felt deeply. We will miss you forever. Your gentle soul brought light to our darkest days. Even when we didn't see something worth saving, you did — and you saved us. They say people are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within, and yours shone bright. I hope you knew how much you meant to all of us. You will be missed in ways words cannot fully express.
May you rest in eternal peace. As long as we live, you will be remembered. Your wings were ready, but our hearts were not.
