“We gathered with salty air, bare feet in the sand, and hearts full of love . Just the way she would’ve wanted. From sea shells to sun rays, every detail whispered her name.
“Though she’s now swimming in celestial waters, I know she’s still with us in every wave that kisses the shore, every moonlit tide, every piece of sea glass glistening under the sun.
“Forever our mermaid. Forever in our hearts.
“Rest easy, my angel of the sea. 💫🐚🌅.”
