Dear Ma,
I just want you to know you meant the world to me. Only a heart as dear as yours would give so unselfishly. The many things you did for me and the times you were there, help me to know how you really cared. You welcomed my children and i into your heart and family, never making us feel like you knew us forever. You and Gean raised the man of my dreams, so caring and kind. I'll do as you asked and always take care of him. Richly blessed is how I feel, to have had a mother in law like you.
Love,
Traci
