Special Tributes…
I stand here today with a broken heart to say goodbye to the love of my life, my soulmate wife. Together, we made memories that will last forever; we laughed every day and shared the most beautiful moments. Her kindness, strength, and humility touched our family and everyone who knew her. Her contagious smile would light up any room she was in and make even the worst day seem a bit brighter. I can remember sitting on the front porch, as we often did. Feeling the breeze and sunshine on most days was all we needed. I am beyond grateful she was by my side through the thick and thin-our incredible journey. I won’t ever forget the love in her eyes, the pain in her eyes, but together, we were able to make it another day-with God; there’s nothing impossible. Although she may be gone from this world, her legacy, creativity, and kind soul live through the people she touched. I (We) carry her memory with me, and it comforts me to know that so much of her is alive in friends and family. Goodbye, My Love, Your Husband My Little Girl Yesterday, My Friend Today, My Daughter Forever… Again, a link in our family chain has been broken and cannot be replaced. But somehow, someway, we will grow stronger. You were strength to the whole family. Even through your illness, you gave of yourself with Compassion, Joy, Love, and Respect. You were always cheerful and smiling. Never too proud to say I’m sorry and I love you and seal it with a kiss. You had the beauty of a rose inward and outward that gave off a fragrance for all to enjoy. You were so strong, yet so gentle… I could feel the love you gave me with the glow of your eyes, the touch of your hand, and a voice as calm as a breeze on a hot day. So many times, we sang and prayed together. You were a ray of sunshine on a rainy day. Thank God for the time you were with us. Your beautiful smile and memories will be with me forever. Sleep on, My Daling Daughter; take your rest; I will carry you forever in my breast.

My Little Girl Yesterday, My Friend Today, My Daughter Forever. Love, Your Mom To Mom… You would always greet me with a smile, hug, and kiss me; that was your style. But now the hugs and kisses have gone away. I’m going to miss you every single day. I am trying to be strong, and I am looking forward to seeing you when I get home. I really cannot express the way I feel because my heart overflows with tears. Your pain is gone; God does no wrong, so rest, Mom, around the Heavenly Throne. I Love You, Renardo
