Foxy, you're the closest thing I have to a mother other than my own momma. We have been through thick and thin for many years, have cried and laughed together and held each other dear through it all. I will carry you in my heart until the day we will all be together again, until then we will still have our conversations and love between us only in a different manner. I have been so blessed with two of the best moms in the world and I do and always will treasure you both. Until1 we meet again, know that I will never walk alone for you my momma and god will be walking with me. I love you and will miss you more than words can say. I love you
