Dear Mom, It's so hard to believe that you have been gone 7 years. I miss you everyday. You were such a joyful person and loved your family with your whole heart. I feel your spirit every single day and miss you terribly.
Your Baby girl, Mary came to join you just 2 weeks ago. I know you must be holding her in your arms now and that makes me smile. Dad would be so happy to see his Mary Modern". Sending you and Dad, Mary and Al our love always.
