I can't begin to thank you for all you've done for me in this life, especially fighting along side with me during these past few years. You always wondered why it couldn't be you, and I'd tell you that its because I needed you. I needed your strength and faith and that fight you always had. Mom, you've been so strong for all of us. You've lived a self less life, always giving to others. I know you are at peace now and with Dad. I will remember your love and all you did for me. You were the Best Mom!
I love you always
Lisa
