In gentle whispers, memories bloom,
A loving heart now finds its room.
With laughter bright and warmth so true,
Her love and light forever grew.
A pillar strong in every life,
A source of comfort, through joy and strife.
In hearts and minds, her memory stays,
Beloved deeply, all our days.
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.
So sorry you’re having to go through this again . Our condolences to you and Theresa
