She was and is my mother of 54 years, she was my best friend. She was the perfect example of love, giving to another, and most of all, life! I will miss her, I will miss our talks, shopping together, seeing and attending the events that was held in Columbia, being there when I needed her, and most of all, just being my mother. I love you Mom. I'll see you soon. Love Rose Lee
