I love you so much and I'm going to miss you terribly. But you told me to be "happy", and I will be! I'll think of all the good times and trips we've had, and it will be wonderful. See you again, Mom!!

Wish I could be there with you. She was a lovely woman and had such a sweet spirit. I treasured the time we got to spend together when mom was ill. It meant so much for them to be together. Sending love and prayers to you all. - Vicki
