Mom I know you somehow knew why I was not in attendance at your buriel and would have understood. You are missed every day yet I visited our Rose Garden in Hollywood on Thanksgiving 2019 and picked up you and Daddy's spirits & we are together everyday since. Nothing will ever come between the life we shared & the friendship the 3 of us had. Thank you for all the wisdom you instilled in me thru faith in God. I'm 70 now. WOW yet you always said age is just a number. Love you as always & nothing and no one will ever altar that EVER. Keep watching over me & say hi to everyone up there for me.
