It is always hard to say goodbye to a loved one, especially a mother. Mom, I an truly going to miss calling you on the phone and staying on the phone for hours just talking about how your day is going or listening to you and Corey joke around. This is one of the hardest times in my life...losing you, but I find peace and comfort knowing that you are no longer sick and suffering with pain. I will miss you dearly and I love you with all my heart. No one can can take a mothers' place. Love,your daughter Teresa
