Mom
I am so happy you are with Dad now. No more pain, no more confusion and suffering. Please don´t worry about me, for 70 years I have been living life by the lessons you taught me. Enjoy being "home". I will miss our aimless talks about nothing in particular, arguing over John Michael Higgins shoes and of course being moved to tears overs lyrics we have shared for years. So many songs will always remind me of you Our go to was always" I Will". We´ll be together again soon enough but until then remember, "Who knows how long I´ve you, you know I love you still" Rest in Peace Mom, you have earned it.Godspeed
