It's so hard to believe it's been six years since I heard your voice or saw your face. The years have not dulled the pain and ache of losing you. I miss you more that you will ever know. I love you so much Mom, rest easy until we meet again. Love, Kerry

This picture was taken 4 years ago today. Had no idea at the time it would be the very last picture we would ever take together, that you would be gone 11 days later. I still can't wrap my head around how fast things went. I miss you more than you will ever know. Love you so much Mom, forever in my heart.

I can't believe we are about to celebrate our 4th Christmas without you. I miss you more than you will ever know, losing you has left a gaping hole in my heart that will never heal. Time definitely does NOT heal all wounds, some are permanent and life altering. Merry Heavenly Christmas Mom, I am definitely jealous of the angels right now. Miss you and love you. #Patsystrong

I cannot believe you have been gone 2 years. I miss you more than you will ever know and would give anything for 5 more minutes with you. The world has gone sideways and while I'm really glad you don't have to deal with the current situation, it doesn't make me miss you any less. Love you, miss you, forever in my heart.
Love, Kerry

Miss you so much Mom, relieved your suffering is over, but heartbroken that you are gone. You were a true warrior and I am in awe of your strength, determination and grit. I miss your irreverent sense of humor, the laughter and silliness, our shopping adventures and so much more. But most of all, I miss sitting on the couch, rubbing your back and talking. I really miss that.

Love you, miss you, forever in my heart.

Love,
Kerry
