Rest in peace Mom. I will always carry your love in my heart. You always gave me love freely with no questions asked. You were always there for me, with open arms and a secure hug and the words of comfort. You taught me right from wrong and your smile gave me peace in my heart. I will miss you dearly but i know you are home with the Lord and those who went home before you. Pease Mom Your loving Son, Gary
