Mom was the most special person to me throughout my entire life and will be until the day I am called home. She will be greatly missed by myself and our entire family and to those who's life she touched. Mom had a heart of gold and to those who knew her, without a doubt, would agree. I will live the remainder of my life as she would've wanted me to and when my day comes, I know she will be there waiting for me with open arms. Rest in peace Mama, I love you with all my heart.
