Tammy, I so wanted to get up at your moms service and say something about your mother, how my Brittany would talk about how much fun she would have when you would take her and your Brittany over to her house, I didn't think I was strong enough to say what I had to say without breaking down. I admired your relationship w/your mother, because I knew that you two were so close.She will always watch over you,Apart or Together, she will always be close to you. "ALL THE PAIN AND GRIEF IS OVER, EVERY RESTLESS TOSSING PASSED; SHE IS NOW AT PEACE FOREVER, SAFELY HOME IN HEAVEN AT LAST - LUV
