Hi Rita, May God bless you and your family in your time of loss. Your mom was such a beautiful and wonderful person as I remember back when you and I were so young. I always said you had the best mom ever. I wanted her to be my mom and you my sister because you had the peace I wanted back then and you guys were so loving and caring. She's in a wonderful place now and will shine over you always no matter where you are, what you do, or your place in life. Your family has no loss but rather gained an angel instead. I wish you the best and send you all the love, prayers and blessings for a truly wonderful person for your mom, yourself and your family. On Gods wings, love you always your friend, Terri Balbuena- Samuels
