My sweet mother...words cannot express how much I love you and how much you will be missed. My heart aches because of losing my best friend, although I know you are now in a better place where you have no more pain and suffering. You are now smiling down on us and watching over us and now able to be with all of your family and watch all the little ones grow. I am constantly reminded of how my life mimics yours, and remember your words "the apple doesnt fall far from the tree." I will also continue to be your voice for the animals.
I will always remember the fun times and the laughter we shared. You are my hero mom...always giving of yourself, never selfish or asking anything in return. I would ask for you to please never leave me, and "goodbye" will never be, because you will never be gone from my heart. I am just saddened beyond belief that I will never be able to see or hear or touch you again, but in my heart your smile and laughter will live forever. I love you so very much my sweet mom.
