~Hey Aunt Liz~

This was all really hard for me cause I wasn't ready to let you go. But now you are in a better place rejoicing with no more pain or "nasty" medicines. I never told you just how much "I LOVE YOU", cause there aren't enough words in this world to express it. I miss you so much and will see you again someday! Love Ya Always!!! Your Niece, Carmen

Hey Mama (MOLE).I knew that would make some people go hummm.Well, you know how things are around here first hand!!It seems like I'm always going and always doing but yet I never seem to stay caught up. And you know,I feel so strongly that this is what has happened with me and you right here at the end.We spent more time as patient and care taker than mother and daughter.I would do all again in a heartbeat, but, i guess what I'm saying is that there were some many times I wanted to talk to you about what was taking place, but LIKE YOU I just wanted to protect you just as you have always protected me in my many times of need.You've just always said,"there is a reason and purpose for everything and God will not let you take on anymore than you can handle."So I'll continue to carry that in my thoughts of you went something should come up that I really need you for. I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH. Just wish we could have that one on one..Mother to Baby Girl talk while you were still here on earth.So know I guess I'll have to do my talking through that magical cord that connects us. MISSING YOU,LOVE CONNIE
