RIP Mrs.Currin.
This is speaking about the love of God, but it can apply to a woman /mother that has shown unconditional love through all the ups and downs in life. Lois Currin was an example of unconditional love to all she touched. I am so grateful to reflect upon her love today as I remember the wonderful legacy she left us all. Not only through her life,but the lives of her children.
We will see you again!
Your smiles could brighten any moment!
Your hugs put joy in all my days,
Your love will stay with me forever
And touch my life in countless ways...
The values you've taught,
the care you had always given,
and the wonderful love you've shown,
have enriched my life
in more ways than I can count.
With everlasting love,
Georgene, Tom, Sue and Joy (Eloise)
