I feel sorry for anyone who did not get to meet my mother. She was the best mom,granny, or friend that anyone could ever ask for. I only hope I can be as good as her someday. Heaven is a whole lot sweeter now indeed. I know she's watching over us, making sure we are safe and sound. Our own personal angel just like here on earth for so many years. Mom, save us all a spot beside you, we will be there with you again someday!

I want to first of all thank everyone for their prayers, love and support. All has and still will be very much appreciated. I want to say that I love my mom with all my heart and soul. My mom was truly my HERO and she was my best friend and sister as well. I miss everything about her--her beautiful smile--her laughter--our private little glances--just feeling her presence and knowing she was always here for me. She touched my life more than words could ever express. Mom was a perfect example of faith, hope, love and her words of wisdom to ALWAYS BELIEVE! BELIEVE----she said that word until the end. It is hard to even think about her not being here with us any longer, but I know she is the most beautiful, happiest angel in Heaven. She is singing and hugging and loving everyone there too! Most of all her Savior. I miss you, mom so much but I will see you again! Thank you for all the inspiration and love you have blessed each of us with. You are AWESOME! I love you, my beautiful mother, sister and friend.

I went to school with Dreama and we grew-up just a couple of miles from each other. She was always a very sweet person. I saw her a few times at Sears. It was fun catching up on old times. Our loss is heavens gain. Please except my deepest sympathy.
