Mama E.,
I was online. . . looking up obituaries for a school project . . . and I came across your obituary :'(
It brought tears to my eyes immediately, and I am still crying...and I regret not writting you this past year, but given the circumstances, I couldn't. I remember the last time I saw you :)
I am applying to Texas Tech- I will keep my promise to you, you've given me the best words of advice through the years in our letters we have wrote to eachother. I carry your picture in my wallet, always have and I still have your letters with me in a box,
I love you immensely, You are the kindest, most sweetest lady I've ever met. . . I miss you so much and wish we could've talked one last time.
Please watch over my grandma- She loves you deeply,let her know I love her too and miss her.
I love you so much Mama E.
Always will.
You will never be forgotten.
I love you with all my heart,and more.
Love Always and forever,
