How beautiful your words are that caused my eyes to tear.

Your tribute is beautiful and fitting. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every son, thought so highly of their mother. You have been blessed indeed.

Your tribute to your beloved Mama was elegiac, and struck a deep chord with others like myself who are mourning the loss of a beloved and irreplaceable companion. Reading your words offered an insight into the resilient, resourceful son she raised in you.

Hello Bill, this beautiful tribute to your mother (my 2nd cousin) brought tears to my eyes and took my breath away. I wish I had had the privilege of knowing her. Very sorry for your loss.

Kind regards,
Judy (3rd cousin)
