You showed me love that had been missing with me not having any parent and allowed me to call you Mama. You are and will be in my heart missed. You left many many wonderful memories for the 4th floor we all love you.I'm not going to worry about you get in trouble with your mouth because I know God's Got you now. Lol Jo
