To my dear Mom, words can't even begin to express how much i love you..You and I have been together so many years..Mom, I have loved taking care of you..I didn't give up anything,like you always thought. My purpose was to take care of you, like you did me when I was a little girl. I enjoyed every minute of it..I only wish i could have done it a few more years.. I miss you, seems like you should still be here by my side. My only peace is that i know you're in Heaven, and will never suffer again. I love you Mom, more than anything in this world.. You will always be in my heart and in my thoughts..Don't worry about me Mom, I know you do, but I will be fine..You are with Dad and Brian now, you are not alone...I love you mom, Pammy

mom, you have meant the world to me. I have known you since I was 13... That's a lot of years, a lot of wonderful memories. I was honored to spend your last days with you. You are home, and I will rejoice with you. This is the beginning, and I shall treasure every memory I have. I love you so much. Heaven is a happier place since you are there. I love you... Diane
