Dear mom,
I love you. I have never shed more tears for a women then you. Your good soul rubs off on me more then you think. I feel you near me at times. Going threw some not so good times in my younger days, made me get in touch with my higher power . I can't thank you enough for that. I know your soul is free from the poisons the earth offered you. I will see you in years to come. You are always welcome to come visit my soul whenever you like. Miss you !! OJ
