No services are planned at her request instead the family suggest that every one remember her smile and laughter and share that joy by calling or visiting a loved one of your own and hugging them while they can share that love back.
For Mom:
When all seems dark, gloomy and sad, remember the sun will shine tomorrow, share the feeling of smiles and laughter to damper your feelings of sorrow. Do not forget; instead, always remember the joy and smiling face, for I have gone and wait for you in a happy and peaceful place. Never alone you shall be, for I smile down from above. When you see the sun shine on your face, that’s me sending you my love. Forever connect by warmth and love never shall we part, for our loving mother shall always remain tucked away in our heart.
