Mom as I sit here reading, it saddens me to know I will never see your face again when I walk through the door of the house. You lived a good life even though it was short. I know you are at peace now and feel relief that you will not have to suffer anymore. You will be greatly missed, but we will forever hold your love and the memories we had in our hearts. I know you will be watching over us. God always has a plan and he needed you home.
Love you always and forever,
Jennifer, Rob,Anissa, Matt & Nyomi
