Dear Aunt Doris, I am so glad my Mom picked her best friend to be my Godmother. I loved you so much, your laugh, your voice, your sense of humor and the love you gave to me. I know you and my Mom are happy to be together. I'm sure Uncle Bob is happy to be back with the love of his life. I will never forget what a strong woman you were.
