I don’t know where to start, there are so many memories. All I know is we were close grown up and I love you so much, even though I didn’t see you all the time, we were still close up until the day you died. Beth, I love you so much and I will miss you every day. My world will not go around the same way it used to, I will stay close to Gabe and I’ll make sure he’s OK ! Til we meet again I’ll keep missing you

I worked with Liz at a call center many years ago and really enjoyed getting to know her. I kept in touch all these years and she was always so happy to talk about her son and how he was doing. Hearing of her passing surprised me. I am sad she’s gone, but I am rejoicing that she will see the face of our Lord!
