Mom,

My heart is still heavy, and I miss calling to hear your voice and laughter when we chatted, and to tell me you loved me.

I also wanted to add, that my Mother was first a student, then became an Aerobics Instructor for the YWCA in Bel Air, MD.
She worked at The Hartford, Ins. Co. in Towson, MD as a processor to claims and data entry. Also, worked at the Wedding Belle in Bel Air, MD, where she would help the ladies with fittings and alterations and freshly press the gowns for their Big Day.
She had a great sense of humor, was strong and determined to live life to it's fullest with her husband and family. Her Faith was powerful!

Watch over me Mom, for I still need you.
My memories of you run deep and will be passed onto your grandkids and great-grandkids.

With all my heart, I will love you always!

Linda
Your Only Daughter
