Mom, I'm gonna miss you forever, and I'll always have the crazy times we shared as a memory, but nothing will ever replace you. I love you ma.

May you find the peace in death you could not find in life.


"All be couse of you, I believe in angels. No not the kind with wings, no not the kind with halos. The kind that bring you home, when home becomes a strange place. I'll follow your voice, all you have to do it shout it out."
