It's been many years since I have seen your mother Michelle, but I know how very close the two of you were. Keep your mom with you by remembering all the good times you shared with her.

I'm so sorry Michelle! Losing that parent that was our rock is never easy! And even though you are one strong woman, it's ok to let it out! Im here anytime you need a shoulder!
