Even though you know it’s coming, it’s still hard; it still hurts. Even though you know it’s better this way, that they left their pain and sadness behind, that it was their time to go, it still steals a piece of your heart and it aches. Time will help the healing, it will help dry the tears. We will cherish the loving memories that are forever in our minds. Mom, grandma, great-grandma and great-great-grandma, aunt, godmother and friend, Lily was a kind, gentle and loving soul. She will be greatly missed, but we know she is at peace, and that gives us peace.
