My Dearest Mum, Words cannot express how deeply heartbroken we both are. Your suffering is now over. Thankfully, God has taken you in to His loving arms peacefully. You can now rest, & be reunited with your beloved "Bernie". I pray that your soul will be flying high in the Heaven's with the beautiful angels. You were truly a loving, devoted & nurturing Mother. I am forever thankful for you being a constant in my life, & that we had you in our lives for a long time. May your dear soul Rest in Peace until we meet again. We love you Mum & you will be deeply missed 💜 "Suffer the little children that come unto me" St Therese the Little Flower
