I am lost for words, I am sadden to hear the passing of My Aunt, She was a beautiful person, She was a fighter all the way, She always spoke her mind too. When She 1st told me she had breast cancer, she said make sure you get yours checked out. She said it in a funnier way, she will be missed for sure. RIP Auntie, I did not get the chance to tell you goodbye and that I love you a lot, I hope you know that.

I will always have many fond memories of your mom. She was always so nice when I was a kid and I would come knocking on the door for Mike. May she RIP. Her pain is gone now forever. Many prayers for Mike and Lisa during this most difficult time, as a Mom can never be replaced.
