Mamma
I am missing you, the big smile you would give when I came to see you, the stories I would tell you of things that happened to me that made you laughed until you cried. The house is not the same without you. Your smell is still everywhere and we are trying to figure out how to go on.

We loved you and always will. Rest in Peace until we meet again.
Love,
Jilly
