My mother had such a beautiful soul. I love everything about her. Most of all I loved how she was always willing to help everyone. She was so proud of her grandchildren. She was the most selfless person I have ever laid eyes on. Spreading her love to more than just her children . I loved her so, so much. I have never felt a pain that hurt this much. My mother was my heartbeat and now it will never beat the same. I love you mother and until we meet again you will live on in our hearts. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH REST PEACEFULLY YOU ARE NOT IN PAIN ANYMORE.
MY LOVE, MY LIFELINE, MY HEART
Dominique, Erica, and Ricky
I’m not sure if I have the words to describe what kind of woman my mother-in-law Terri Carroll was. She was definitely a beautiful person inside and out. She always saw both sides of things and never was negative about things. She was a wonderful mother and loving grandmother. No matter what the situation was she always had her door open to help others. She never worried one time about herself, always about others. I would give anything to have her back. She filled something in my life and her grandkids life and that is love. She has taught me a lot about why it is important to never take things for granted and to always look past the bad of others. I know we will see each other again but you will always remain in our hearts. RIP
