I will always cherish the good memories from my childhood with you , mother.
I know there was a time when we lost touch , but when we started talking again it ment the world to me.
After then you were always there for me. Listening to whatever I had to say. I'm going to miss you.
I know they dont have phones up in heaven but , in my heart I'm going to keep on calling. -DD

I have a lot of good memories of Holiday dinners, watching the making of chocolates to sell for Easter, and so excited on Halloween when Mum made us costumes! And of course sitting in the her kitchen while she made her delicious home made soups!
Thank you for these memories!
