It is with the heaviest of hearts I am announcing the passing of my mother, Sabrina L Girard. She passed peacefully on February 19th 2023 with her husband Ken, her daughter Angelina and her son Kenny by her side after a long 12 year fight with CTCL (Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma), Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Cancer.

Mom, you were the strongest women I ever knew. You fought harder than anyone I’ve ever known. You took everything you faced it made it look so easy. I always thought about you when I had a bad day, I thought how hard you fought, what you went through and you made me a strong man. I was blessed to have you attend so many events that I’ll cherish in my heart forever. As I wrote on my graduation cap, all for mom. Everything from this day forward will be dedicated to you. I promise to make you proud of me. I know you’ll be up there guiding me every step of the way though this crazy journey called life. You’ll walk stride for stride by my side and I know you’re watching me and I know I’m going to make you proud. You’ve fought so hard for so long and now you can finally rest. You’ve done everything that you could have and so much more. You raised 2 beautiful children and were the most loving wife to my dad. You watched Ang grow into a young adult and watched her be the best version of herself thanks to you. She’s a beautiful young women now and she’s going to do great things for you. You raised a young man in me. You taught me so many life lessons and left me with so many loving memories. You told me during my time as a “cool” teenager that I need to live life so “I won’t regret my actions when people die”. That quote stuck with me because I lived from that point on leaving you and myself no regrets. I hope that I was an amazing son and I gave you everything I had to make you a proud mama of your boy. In our last days together you asked me, “how we gonna rock this shit?”. Mom you already rocked it, you rocked everything you faced and you were the strongest you could be and stronger than I’ll ever dream to be. I’ll be forever grateful for your spirit and fight. Without your will power I wouldn’t have had a mom for as long as I did and I will always thank you for that. You suffered for so long just to be with your family and we are so, so thankful for that. To my dad, thank you. You were there for her the whole time, she was so strong thanks to you as well. Without you who knows how long she would have made it, you are almost as strong as her (not quite though ). Thank you dad for all the sacrifices you made, a lot of men would’ve walked away from the situation you were in and you made me a better man by watching you do what you did for my mother.

Mom I will keep you in my heart forever. I’ll never forget you. I’ll never love another human the way I loved you. You were my rock on the darkest of days and the light when I needed it. You were always there for me and I’ll never forget that. I will love you for the rest of my days. I will see you again some day, until that day, I’ll be thinking of you. I’ll be strong for you and keep you in my heart.

I love you forever mom, rest in peace mom, I love you.
