To my beautiful mother. This doesn't seem real, you not being here. I keep wanting to pick up the phone to call you, and engage into one of our lengthy conversations, like we always did, nearly on a daily basis. You were my best friend, and I feel so lost without you! You were always there for me, our girls, and our whole family. Nobody could have asked for a better mama, than you. You were the best, you were my rock! As much as my heart is breaking, I take comfort in knowing that you do not have to suffer anymore pain, and I'm sure you are in heaven fishing, and enjoying the comfort of all our loved ones, who are there with you. Thank you mama for the many, so many cherished memories, that you left me with. I pray that your love and strength will always guide me to be the best mother that I can be to my children, and too, the best grandmother ever, as you were with me and my children! Don't worry mama, I will continue to make you proud! You are always and forever, in my heart and soul! I love you mama! - Luana <3
