Elle est toujours dans mon coeur.

Je suis venu vous parler de......


Bonjour....

Moi, il y a une personne à qui j'aimerais rendre hommage.

C'est une personne qui à illuminé mon enfance.

C'est ma mère qui s'appelait Norma.

C'etait une femme très généreuse, tendre, amicale, patiente qui avait  de l'humour et qui adorait les enfants.

Elle est morte il y a dix ans. Elle me manque beaucoup.

Pour moi, elle était une mère parfaite pour nous, une sainte pour quelqu'un  qui avait besoin d'aide et une femme parfaite pour mon père.

J'ai trouvé une pure forme d'amour.

Je ne l'oublierais pas.

Elle est toujours dans mon coeur.

Je remercie Dieu pour nous l'avoir donné.
