As you comprehend this profound loss, let yourself cry, knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heavens. May you take comfort in knowing an Angel is watching over you and the comfort of GOD surround you during this time and the days ahead.

My mother, Idelia Rootues, my first best friend had to leave me this week, God had other plans for her in heaven. She was the first one that smiled at me and took care of my every need. She was there for me when no one else was, and she always loved me, forgave me and was proud of me. She was my first cheerleader, first to say halleluiah when I sang, first to read and listen to my poems. She was my first best friend, I will love her forever and ever! I already miss my first best friend...from your loving daughter Della Jane
