My mom was one of a kind. She taught me it was ok to be different. She showed me how to be the person that I am today and for that I am eternally grateful. Not a day will go by that I will not think about her, and I know she will be doing the same. I know she will continue to watch over us all and keep us safe. She is now able to be at peace resting with her loved ones that I know she really missed as well. One day we will meet again and I know we will both have lots of stories to share with one another.
Until we meet again
Love you, Mom.
Sidney and Brittany.
