Mom,
It's been 6yrs without you. It still hurts just the same as that day you left us. I'm still empty inside and lost without you. Life will never be the same. The kids and I miss you more than I can begin to describe. Thank you for watching over us and sending signs of your presence when I need it the most. I love you mom....xo

In the summer of 2010 when my grandmom was watching me we stayed up late at night drank our tea and played pinball and shuffleboard. She would sing and dance to ever Elvis song that played on my mom's pinball machine and all I could do was laugh and clap. She loved her Elvis. I loved her very much. I will miss her very much.

Memories I have of my mother are far too many to list. She was the most selfless woman I have ever known. She wore her heart on her sleeve. She had such a love for life. A few things I will share that some of you may already know....... she was a great dancer. If there was a "Twist" contest, she would always win. She could also "Limbo" lower than anyone I have ever seen. She loved cherry vanilla ice cream. She made the most delicious strawberry shortcake, which I learned from her. She loved "Elvis" which I too grew to love because of her. I could go on and on......... My mom was "Simply The Best"! She will be so sadly missed by all who knew her. They don't come much better than her! Miss you Mom!!! I'll Always Love You..........Xoxo

My condolences to the family and a memory of CHE-CHE was that she was crazy about "ELVIS PRESLEY"
