I miss you dearly Mama. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to talk for a long time before I saw you again. You saved me and I will always be indebted to for you that. I miss our four long conversations, your beautiful smile and laugh and that you were direct with your words never sugar coating how you felt. You did a great job raising me as I believe I'm the male version of you. Until we meet again, your only grandson missing you dearly and I know when I see a bunch of paper towels around that you letting me know its going to be alright. Love you Mama and when you passed part of me passed with you. Love you always.
