Mom, it's been a long month since you grabbed Gods hand. I know you have found the best of life and there's no more pain and I bet you're warm. I miss you so much, I truly hope and believe how much I love you. You always gave the best of everything to anything that you could offer. I know that you're at peace and having a great time with Grandpa, Grandma, Don (Grandpa) and Rima (Grandma). I still feel your presence in my heart, tears, every breath I take. Not only were you my MOM but you were my best friend. I'm going to be selfish, I want you back!!!!!!!!! And I bet that the birds don't bother you anymore. (If you knew my Mom you'd find that funny too) I LOVE AND MISS YOU!!!!!! (HUGE HUG, GRIN, KISSES AND LOVE) I know that I had to put it in words because your flip phone didn't recognize emojis. LOL
