Mom, miss our Saturday chats but you are in God's hands now. The hurts are forever and forgiven. What I have today is what there is memories forever
And those are the memories I have to hold on to. Celebrating a life well lived. I will cherish the memories forever.
In my mind I remember a face one of beauty and a life of pain, happiness and caring in your own way. Your loving daughter Gerrie

Mom and I my first day of school
