Sis,
Only words that come to mind now is how much we love and miss you. The memories I hold can never be replaced by time. They only grow stronger day by day. You were a very strong wonderful woman who gave so much to my life and many other's. At times of illness, you were more concerned on how somebody else was doing. That was
" My Sis". Rest in Peace until We Meet Again. Your Loving Brother Doug

My mother was a beautiful and strong woman. She was my strength when I thought things couldn't get worse. I am going to miss her more than I could ever express in words. Thank you all for your kind words.
