My Mom and I were more alike than I would like to admit. I will miss her voice the most. When she would call me "Jill Bug" it took me back to being a little girl. She once told me chocolate milk came from brown cows. Boy a kid will believe anything! Fly high Mom! No more pain or shadows. I will always love you.
