Mama, I love and miss you. Although, I know you are in Heaven looking down on us that doesn't stop the pain I feel in my heart. I'm going to miss your stories, and the way your eyes lit up whenever you saw one of your children walk into your room, our annual Xmas parties, and your singing. I know you went into the light when you gave me your sign...10 palm trees with hundreds of white lights stringed around them. That was truly a light show! Good job mama! I got the message and I know you're elated to be with your parents, I'm happy for you. I just want to let you know that once you get settled, I expect a visit from my angel! Mama, you are so beautiful, you are my Sunshine!I love you so much and you will live in my heart forever. Say Hi to my son Frank Angel. With all my love, your daughter Debbie Arroyo
