Our mother was one of the strongest, bravest, and kindest humans to grace this planet. We wouldn’t be the people we are, and we wouldn’t have the life we have without her. Our mother was an inspirational and kind person. Her home was open to everyone, and she always made everyone feel welcome and important. She was the most loving, compassionate, understanding, family-orientated woman and one of the most beautiful souls one could ever meet. She always gave the very best hugs.
Mom, you were a beautiful gift from God with all the love and caring that you possessed. You touched our hearts in so many ways. Even on dark days, your strength and smile made us realize we had an angel beside us. We are going to miss you so much. To the world, you were one person, but to us, you were the world. We will always hear your voice and laughter and feel your sweet kisses and the warmest hugs. You will forever live in our hearts. Thank you, mom, for all the beautiful memories and everything you did for us. We will always love you!
There will a private family burial service, date and time to be announced. A memorial service in our mother’s honour will take place at a later date in Flower’s Cove.
