Mom,
I know how much you cherished every handwritten card, those purchased and those made from construction paper and every gift, those purchased and those made from paper mache' but I could not think of a more precious Mother's Day gift to give to you than to send you home to Heaven to be reunited with family and meet our Savior who you so diligently served while on Earth.
Forever in my heart, proud to be your Son,
Bradley Don.
