It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.She was a big part of my yesterday.There is so much I wish I had the words to say. She loved to talk, and had so many old stories to tell. She loved her family unconditionally and was proud of each one.I loved to sing to her and tell her about church service she wanted to know everything. Mrs Janet I thank God for you and admire you for how well you looked out for your mother.May God continue to bless you is my prayer.
