One month almost has sent by and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. We hadbsome ups and downs over the years but you were always there for me and the kids and they sure miss their Bama. On earth nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes and now you are in a place that's perfect and you are free to be beautiful. Larry will take good care of you as he always did and I will fulfill the promise you asked of me. Mom and I will take care of each other and we will get the babies raised up right. I will see you one day and I know you will welcome me into the gates of heaven. I love you always
