It's hard to believe you are not here. You will never again call to see if I am alright or get on to me for not calling. I will miss our gripe fests when We could talk about all the things that were bothering us. Miss you and love you, Kathleen

Mom you were the answer to all of my questions, whether it was personal or what ingredient I left out of a recipe. I know that you are in a better place and you aren't in any more pain. I miss you dearly and I will never forget all of the good times we had together. I love you with all of my heart, Nancy.
