I am going to miss you. I remember sending Jaylee the doll house for Christmas and how we supported each other while you dealt with your health issues and I dealt with mainly Jim's, but mine too. I wish we had lived closer,now we will never get that chance. Jaylee your mother made a difference in the world, and so do you!
