Dearest Mom, I miss you so much,I have been having so many wonderful dreams of you. I want to Thank You for being the best Mother you could be, You were always there for all us kids & Grandkids too. My family & I all feel so blessed that we could take you in and care for you the last few months of your life. We all missed you so much when you went back home with Kim & Roger for that 3 weeks. I will always treasure the last great conversation we had it was Black Friday! I usually get all My Christmas shopping done that day, But every time I left to go shopping I would get a call and I had to come home because you said you missed me & you needed me. I smile every time I think of that day! Friday night you told me how much you loved all the kids and we talked about each one and what they meant to you! We talked about the Grandkids too. How you were so proud of all the grandkids and love them with all your heart, we shared a little memorie of each one of us. The first week you were gone we all took turns sitting in your room & watching T.V. missing you & there was a calm about sitting there quitely. November 26th 2012 at 4:26 p.m. you passed away in my arms, My life changed for ever that day! I'm so thankful I was able to help you live out one of you dreams of not having to go into a nursing home & you died in my arms you were not alone. I LOVE YOU MOMMY! Give Daddy a big hug for me. Tell him how much we all love & miss him... I will see you in Heaven some day!

I love you mom and miss you already. I'm glad I got to spend those 6 days with you even though you were a crazy lady at times. I'll especially cherish our time together at Sue's house when we held hands and reminisced and cried together. But mostly I want to thank you for your absolute, unconditional love my whole life. For always trusting and believing in me. For sending me to college and loaning me money then ripping up my checks when I tried to pay you back. Your death hurt me more than I could ever imagine it would. I wasn't ready. I wanted to see you just one more time, but you were ready to go and I'm not mad at you. I love you mother and I always will. You will NOT be forgotten but surely missed. Rest in peace and give dad a hug for me and tell him the Vikings won 6 Super Bowls since he died. And finally, for the record, you were NOT a better driver than me!
