Buddy, This is the second Mothers Day without you and the empty fealing in my stomach is still there. Even though I didn't see you on Mothers Day you always called and told me you loved me and I miss that so much. Even though I have your brother and three sisters our lives have changed so much and i know it will never be the same again. We all miss you and love you. Muma

Spring just isn't the same with you not here! On a day like today we could go down town and see you either sitting on the steps at Hunter's with your poland spring water in hand or cruising back and forth in the Mustang! Down town will never look the same with out you in it!
We miss you dearly Buddy!
