Not sure what to say?

Mom,
They say we were so fortunate to have you so long
But the pain that's in my heart never will be gone
You were always there for me no matter what I chose
And now I have my own family as it also grows
I know they threw the mold away the day that you were born
Knowing this in my heart will help me while I mourn
So as I look out my window and my door
I truly wish you can walk through it just once more
Love,
Michael

May we express our deepest sympathy to all of your family in this awful time of loss. Mickey was a wonderful vibrant women full of love and wisdom.I am so grateful that Erin and the little girls had the opportunity to know her though for much too short a time.I am so happy that she got to meet lil Anthony ,hold him, and see all the Anthony's in that little face.I hope you find comfort in your years of memories andrealize that we are all here for such a short time,and if we find that special person to share our life with we must hold on tight for its a blessing that is hallways taken before we are ready, leaving us with such a void in our hearts, that only time can heal.
Please give yourselves that time, and know that you are in our hearts and prayers.
