My dearest mother. I will miss you until my last breath. Life on earth for me will never be the same without your presence. I find comfort only knowing you are free from the disease that stole you away from us. Your mind and body have been renewed and I hope you now remember how much we love you and will miss you until the day the Lord brings us together again. Mom, you finally earned your wings and made it into Paradise. I will miss you always. ❤️

Gracious Father, You give and You take away. My family is in deep sorrow over the loss of our loved one Lydia. By the power and comfort of the Holy Spirit, give us peace that only Your Son’s victory over death can give. Show us Your compassion, and fill us with hope in Jesus, the light of this world. In Jesus name. Amen.
