Proverbs 31:25-31 
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. 
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction on her tongue. 
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. 
"Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." 
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 
Honor her for all that her hands have done and let her works bring her praise. 

We will miss you Mother until the end of our days. Our hearts will hold you tight always. 

Grief is the last act of love we have to give to those we loved. Where there is deep grief, there was great love.
