Ma
It saddens me so much that you had to leave us so soon. You of all people did not deserve what happened to you. I could only pray that God has a better place for you; however, you will always remain in my heart. You have taught me how to love, live, survive and nurture my children. There are not enough nice words to express how beautiful of a person you were, but just to express a few: you were caring, loving, generous, sweet, lovable, honest, and happy and just a wonderful person for anyone to be around. You have touched so many people with your charming personality, it’s amazing! I could only dream to be half the person you were here on earth. I love you with all my heart, and will always be your baby.
One love forever!!!

You were and always will be like my very own mom. I love you and I'll always miss you and I will never forget you. You are embedded in my soul. Cruise on and I will see you in my dreams. Tanya, Keith and Jo, thank you for sharing such a wonderful woman with me. Love you guys!!!!

Ma,
I miss you so much I don't know how I will ever fill this void in my heart. You were truly the best mother , that any daughter could ask for when I was going through my stuff you sat back and let me get through it with the help of God and for this I am truly thankful. I am truly blessed to have had a mother as great as you. I wish your time here was longer but God had other plans for you I know you are in heaven with your wings looking over your family and friends.

I love you.

I'm stunned and overwhelmed. I was thinking she was on the Cruise and I would check with her next week to see how it went. I can't find words to express my deep sadness and sense of loss. I'm going to miss her badly and thank God for having her in my life. I have such wonderful memories of her I will cherish forever. Please know I'm here for you and my thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. I love you all.
