Melinda, you dear, precious Girl. What a gift to the world your mother made when she gave us YOU! Surely she was at peace with you by her side. My heart breaks into ever more pieces in sharing your sorrow. I love you, Sweet One. xo

Melinda, May your Mom Rest in Peace. I know your mother meant the world to you, but all your great memories and love for your mother will live on forever in your heart and soul. Now that you have your angels above you will always be protected. I pray for God to give you the strength you need to carry on as he will never give you more than you can handle. Turn your pain over to God and he will guide you through.

Melinda,
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

You will always ache from the void. Some days not as much as others. Let your tears flow freely, somehow that cleanses the wound to allow healthy healing. You are an amazing person and a living testament of all the things your Mother instilled in you.
I love you and am always here for you!

Melinda,
My heart aches for you, for I know that your mom was the most important person in your world and I pray that your heart finds peace. With everything you have posted over the last couple of years, even though I've never met your mom I feel like I have through you. We are all reflections of our parents and you are such a beautiful person inside and out there is no doubt she was as well. Always remember that she is now your own special angel and will always be with you as well as watching over you. I love you and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Melinda, your mother had the best daughter a mother could ever wish for. I know that part of you went with her when she passed but I also know, that part of her stayed with you and will live on in your heart.
