How do we say goodbye, to someone as amazing as you?
How do we get past the pain?

Of knowing the world lost someone as wonderful as you.
There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing you have been.

An amazing Mother, Sibling, Aunt and Friend.

Though our hearts are cold, at the thought of not hearing your laugh again,
the warmth you carried inside, will carry us through to the end.

An amazing woman you were on every single day.
An amazing woman you are.

Who cherished her family in every single way.
We can’t begin to describe all the amazing things you do.
And I pray in every way we were just as amazing to you!
