Dear Sister, I know you are at peace and watching over all those who love you. Tomorrow is Mother's Day and the first one for your girls to be without "MOM". I know they will miss you and so do I. We always exchanged cards and today was the Kentucky Derby that we enjoyed and talked about. I miss all our talks. Bless you in Heaven. Love, your Sis.
