Mama, Time is going by so fast! My heart hurts just as much today as the day you departed. So much as changed, I could use your gentle touch and sweet voice to tell me it´s all going to be okay! Just know I love you and miss you beyond words!

Mom, I miss you so much, things are so different, I wish I could talk with you. Thing were hard when dad pasted, then things were even harder when Ricky passed, but losing you, I feel like part of me is gone, you and I were inseparable. I miss spending the night with you, I miss everything about you. I love you mom and I will see you again. Love your girl Sherry!
