Hey, Mom,

I couldn't believe it when you passed away...I still have my moments, doubting that you're gone, so I just wanted you to know that I was so thankful and proud to have you as my Mother....I know you're with our Lord Jesus Christ in Heaven....all the pain you've ever known is gone, never to return.....

I love you very much, and I will miss you always....we'll be together one day and share the laughter again....

Love,

Kathy
