Today we honor the life of our mom, grandma, great grandma, sister, aunt and dearest friend to all. She was a truly amazing woman who was the sweetest and most loving person to the entire world.

It's safe to say she was everyone's best friend and to try and do justice right now in this short eulogy will be impossible. She dedicated her life to her family/friends making sure we were supported in whatever we did and that we never felt anything other than her love.

We don't think of her as gone away, but instead her journeys just begun. Life holds so many facts, this earth is only one. Think of her as resting, from the sorrows and the tears of the world. We pray her new home is of warmth and comfort where there are no days or years.

Praying that she wishes that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. She'd want all of us to think of her as living in the hearts of all she's touched. For nothing loved is ever lost, and she was loved ever so much.

We carry her memory with us and it brings comfort to know so much of her is alive in everyone of us today.

In the words of her, "Untight your face and have fun because I'm going to have myself a good time." Today, we dance, sing, smile and laugh for you. And yes you look good lol.

Goodbye, our love.
