Mom...You were an amazing woman and as much as I will miss you, I know you are in a better place. God is getting a wonderful angel. You have always been my shoulder to cry on, my advice giver, my light at the end of many dark tunnels and a fantastic mom. I'm not sure how I'm gonna do this without you, but you will always be in my heart guiding me. I promise you that i will take very good care of dad. One day, we will be together again. Thank you mom for being the best mom anyone could ever have and I love you with all my heart!
