Dear Mom, it has been a week now since you left to join the angels of God. I know you are happy there. Say hi to Dad for me and all your bother and sisters. I try not to weep, but it is so hard to hold back the tears. The tears are not for sadness, but knowing that you are safe and will never again feel pain. I love you Mom, and when my time comes, I hope you will be there to meet me at the Heavens gate with open arms. Until then, remember that I will see your beautiful smiling face everyday and I too will smile. Thank-you for everything that you have done for me and making me the person I am today. Your loving daughter, Donna
