Mom, It's been burning nightly in your window since I lost you. It will stop when I take you to the cemetery and you are firmly in God's care.

Mom, I Love You and Miss you more than you know - that goes for Sabe too. You left earth like I'd want to, that is quietly, peacefully and with no signs of pain. I think it was God's wish that I was there with you at the end of the circle of life. I'll take care of Sabe as good as I can. Hope you said "Hi" to everyone up there like I asked you to. I don't know when I'll see you again - once again, that is in God's hands. I didn't do the greatest job with your obituary, I forgot about your two grandchildren, Nathan, Cassandra and your Great granddaughter Cara.
