Gemma MY SWEET MOMMY, G

od knew what he was doing when he copied your face and gave it to me. He gave to me the face of an exemplary woman, a well-loved and respected woman, an unforgettable and incredible woman. For this I thank him, and for the benefits this brings, I thank you. I take great pride in the ever-recurring response – “Yes, Elva Rolle is my mother!” You have impacted so many lives and helped so many people, your reach has been far and wide. You never cease to amaze me.

I thank you for being such a sweet and genuine person. I thank you for being my voice of reason, for your gentle guidance, for being my calm from this crazy scary world. I thank you for the massive sacrifices you made to raise us. You gave so much of yourself to us. I thank you for the sweet love and generosity shown to my children, your beloved grandchildren. They love you and miss you so much. I will ensure they will grow to understand and know intimately the legacy you leave behind.

Your spirit permeates my thoughts daily. I know that life will be different for me now. I will pray unceasingly as you instructed me to and I have faith that I will be okay. I love you so much mommy, take your rest now, until we meet again.

Your Beloved Daughter, Gemma
