There are really no words to express how much she meant to me. She taught me so much, was always there for me and loved me unconditionally. I miss and love you Mommy, so very much. I know you’re happy up there with Daddy, Olin, David, Jerry, your Mama and countless others that you love. I will treasure your memory and look forward to the day when I can see you and hug you again.
