Everyone knows if I had a choice I would have followed you to heaven
mom, letting you go, was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I do not
know how I am going to live without you mom. You were such a huge part
of my life. I didn’t only lose my mom… I lost my best friend. Mom, this
trip you had to take on your own. Until we meet again…
Mom you left us all so many beautiful memories. Your love will always be
our guide, although we cannot see you anymore, you will always be by
our side. We were so blessed to have had a mother like you. Thank you
Mom for all the wonderful memories you gave us! You will always live on
because of all the time you took with each of us, talking, teaching, and
laughing. You will live on especially through Johnny, Jimmy and I
because we will re-tell all of your stories to our kids and their kids
over and over again just like you did for us… And we are so grateful for
all the time you took and we appreciated every minute we spent
listening to you. You know how much we loved talking with you and
listening to all of our childhood stories. We are so grateful for all
the time you took to listen to us… You touched so many lives. We will
always remember and love you mom! You were the best Mom anyone could
ever have! Hope you are dancing in the clouds…
