So sorry for your loss. Tootsie was a special person in my life and I loved her so very much....but as Elaine said " they are all together again."
Sorry I can't be there for the memorial.
Love to all of you.

I am not sure what to say except I will miss you and always remember you. Even though I am 3000 miles away I often thought of you and talk to Teresa and Rusty weekly. I am glad they took great care of you 18 years along with their children
Love you Mom
