Hey Mamacita'

I cannot believe you have been gone a year. I am sure you are causing all kinds of mischief.

I am sure you know that everything that you have asked of me has been taken care of. The only peace I get in any of this it's knowing you are not in pain and that you are with loved ones.

I love you

Stella
