Not sure what to say?

Mama, not a day goes by where I don’t think about you or are missing you. Though you’re in better place, with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, it still hurts not to be able to hear your voice or just come by and visit and get a frozen cup or two. I love you!

It has been eight years since you have transitioned to be with the Lord. It’s not a day that goes by that I don’t of you, i miss you like crazy. I will continue to cherish the memories that we shared. You are alway in my thoughts. I love you Mama.
