Hey, I didn't get a chance to know you very well, but I do know my mom loved you very much! You always treated her better than anyone she was with. I'm sure you two loved each other a lot. I'm sorry to hear of your passing and especially that I couldn't attend your funeral. At least you're with her now. Say hello for me.
