How can a person truly express what a gift you were to so many. I feel God brought you to me to be a mother when I really needed one. Thank you Mom for always treating me as if I was your own daughter. Thank you for supporting me when Rachel was sick, I felt you were the only one that truly felt my pain. I am glad you are with God now, but I miss you terribly. I will hold you in my heart forever Mom, I love you

Sweet Beautiful Mama...
Thank you for accepting me into your family & giving me a home for the holidays, a hug when I needed it most, & a look of disgust towards anyone who did me wrong :D We didn't share DNA, but we shared our hearts with each other, and that means more to me than anything. Thank you for allowing me the honor of spending your final moments with you. I will cherish you for all of my life. Just being near you made me a better person, brought me closer to God, & made me feel like a part of something bigger than myself. Me, Rachel, Gena & Robert (and all of our children) will carry you with us for all of our days. May you rest in the hands of Jesus until we meet again. I love you dearly.

Mama, you were the best grandma anyone could have. You gave Ray and I bottles when our parents took them away from us. You showed us love for animals and I will never forget you helping me to pour birdseed into your birdfeeder. Little things like that I will always remember. Nobody is a Mama like you are a Mama and our family will never be the same without you ;( I'm so happy I got to spend your last days with you and see your smiling face Sunday when I gave you that Betty Boop dollar ;) I love you soooo much and you will be in my heart every day. Everyone says I look just like you and I hope I can make you proud.
