Mom, I have a whole life time of memories. You were my world. You always have my back no matter what it was you always stuck up for me. I was the baby, and of couse, you always said I will always be your baby. I remember recently making you scatch my back when I got home from work. I remember the one on one time we shared talking about family that you were worried about just a couple of weeks ago. You were so full of life, and you constantly made sure that everyone was happy around you. You never worried about your health, and you never complained about feeling sick. You were my rock, my best friend and my mother. I love you more than words can say!! I will carry your strength forever. Please be with me to help me, dad, Michelle, Dale, Britt and Brad get through this difficult time. We still need you mom!!! Love FOREVER, Your Daughter Wendy....To everyone thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
