You were a second mother to me and you and Peggy were there for me when I was at my darkest. Words could never express how much you meant to me. My heart goes out to my extended family as they try to process this HUGE loss.

The first time I ever saw a sun shower was with Mum. They always make me think of her. And I will never forget her singing Suzie Snowflake during those Christmas seasons at Michael's Arts & Crafts.
