Mom it's been 5 years And I struggle everyday without your guidance. You are my best friend and my mentor. You had an answer for everything and I always think about things you've said to me or taught me. You were the smartest person I've ever known your communication skills are beyond impressive. So many things I took for granite I really miss now. I love you and you will always be remembered. I miss you mommy.

Kim, My friend. You are so deeply missed. I love you so much today, tomorrow and always. I will forever remember your stories and jokes. Even the jokes that were only funny because you laughed all day and I never got the joke. The best part was just knowing you were light hearted and enjoyed life. You helped me to look at things with a different perspective. Your fun personality and laugh is forever in my heart. I love you.
Ashley my deepest sympathy for your loss. Please remember your Mom lives through you everyday & you shine just like she did. You are loved. --

Mom I love you soooo much you taught me how to deeply and genuinely care for people and showed me how to appreciate those you love. From the day I was born and until the day I see you again you've always had a bond and a love instilled in me that no one can replace. My heart aches and my eyes fill with tears as I write this to you realizing you are not here. But you were so special and amazing that god didn't want you away any longer and saw your pain and as you were surrounded by all your friends and family, god finally was ready to take an angel from this earth back to heaven. May your soul be filled with joy and your body rest in peace.
I love you!!!!
