Mom, I miss you so much. You were my best friend and confidant. I will miss our Saturday shopping trips that you would make last for hours because you were so happy to be out of the house (even though you knew how much I hated to shop). I would give anything to share a laugh or smile with you again. You are at peace now and no more suffering. You will be thought of everyday with so much ❤.

Alice (my Mom) was not only my mother, but my best friend and confidant. She knew everything there is to know about me and I her. She loved to shop and she knows how much I hated to shop, but every Saturday we would venture out to her favorite stores. Since this was her favorite thing to do, we would spend about 2 hours doing grocery shopping and she would buy about 5 things. She oils look at every single time in each aisle because she was happy to be out. I will miss our Saturday outings, the laughs and especially her smile. I will forever miss you Mom. I love you with all my ❤. Denise
