My condolonces on your loss. Know that we are here for you not only today but in the days ahead.
Thank you, Mom, for giving me the best childhood ever. Thank you for taking care of me all through school. Thank you for buying a house in another school district just so I could go to Galena Park High School. Thank you for your support all through college. Thank you for taking care of Brandon during his first few months of his life. Thank you for all the Sundays when you prepared lunch and had me over. Most of all, thank you for taking care of Dad all of these years, even when you were feeling extremely ill. Don't worry, Dad is in good hands! We love you, miss you, and know that you are in the presence of the Lord with joy and without suffering.
Audrey,
I regret that I only got to know you for such a short time, but I thank the Lord for the time He allowed me to spend time with you and to get to know you a little bit. In the little time I got to know you, I learned a lot from you, I learned that love has no limits, for I witness how you took care of your loving husband and sons even when you were not feeling well, and how you stood strong and looked after them before you, that is the true meaning of love. I will always cherish the wonderful memories we shared at the table when you would have Jason and I come over on Sundays to eat your delicious meals you prepared especially for us, your cooking was the best. But most of all I want to thank you for raising Jason to be a very loving, caring and honest (not to mention handsome) man. I know he learned his mannerisms from you and Leroy. For now on, every time I see a butterfly, I will think of you, the woman who gave all her unconditional love and care to her family and friends. I rejoice with you, because now you are in a better place with the Lord and His angels, where there's neither pain nor tears. I look forward to seeing you there one day! Ps. Don't worry about Leroy, Jason and I will be taking care of him and doing our best just like you did all these years. I Love you,
Norma.
I am so sorry, Joe. I only learned of this today (Nov. 20). I've been overseas. Your mother was a big part of my younger days and I will always remember her as a strong and kind woman.
