Mom, there are no words to express what everyone is going through right now. You were the "backbone" for the family. Like all Moms, you were supposed to live forever. You didn't in life but you will in our Hearts and Memories. We all Love You and will Miss You Forever. All Our Love, Donnie & Billie
