In life, a daughter could not have asked for any better parents than the two of you. I will miss you Mama, for you were truly my best friend. Although our late night phone calls will come to an end, I will still be talking to you every night before I go to bed until I see you again in heaven.
Daddy, I know you will take care of Mama in heaven just like you did when you were here. I will miss all those times we spent eating out and those long waits in the doctor offices.
My heart is broken to have to say goodbye not to just one but to both of you at the same time, but I know deep in my heart you two would not have wanted it any other way.
Your loving daughter,
Joy
