In the past few days I have been thinking of one memory that will stay with me for ever. It was sad but, funny at the same time. I love it. Thanks for giving the memory to me. My thoughts and prayers are with our family and with my uncle and cousins. We will love and miss you very much.

Barbara (Mama) was a strong wonderful woman that I will never forget. Even though I knew her for such a short amount of time I loved her from one of the first times I heard her voice while she was calling Karla at work. She will be missed and loved in our hearts.
