Well, Mom, it's been 10 years since you left for your eternal home. So much has happened... with each new thing, I always think how much you would have loved being part of it all... you would say your usual, "oh, yeah?" No matter what I told you, big or small, you were always just so attentively interested - you sure knew how to make me feel great, with all your unconditional love.

It was a honor to bring you into our home to give back to you a 10th of what you gave to us. It was a pressure taken care of you but more importantly thank you for the memories that can not be replaced.
