Mom - How can I ever thank you for all you have given me. You laughed with me, cried my tears and supported me when no one else would. I am devastated by your loss but take comfort in the knowledge that your pain has truly ended and you are resting peacefully in Dad's arms. “I love you and Good-night” Kelly
