Mom,

You are always in my thoughts, I think about you so often and miss that quirky smile and even the hot head you had. Isabelle and Brooklynn talk about you quite frequently and when they see a cardinal they always say great grannybears is here. I hope you are with Brad and both so happy and free of any pain you were in. I know you are one beautiful angel my sweet Mom.
Love you to the heavens and back until we meet again.
Your daughter

It is hard for me to believe it will be 5 years tomorrow that you left us. I miss you every day and there are so many times I go to pick up the phone and call you and I can't. You would be so in love with your great grandchildren they are absolutely amazing and your granddaughters make me proud every day. You are always in my thoughts and my heart Mom, so hard to believe my Mother and my Brother are not here any longer. I love you to the heavens and back until we meet again Mom.
Love your daughter
