My mom was the strongest, bravest person in the world. She gave alot more than she got, but yet she never complained. I cannot ever remember a time in my 30 years that she has not been there for me, or whoever needed her. She left behind many broken hearts and dreams and plans, but I know she no longer hurts, and she is in the best of hands. I am lost without my mom, she was my best friend and gave me the strength, courage and wisdom to live my life and take care of my family. Somehow, we all must go on and live our lives just like she would want us to. I cry for her every day, as we all do, but i feel her strength inside of me, trying to tell me to pull myself together, and that is what we all must find in ourselves. i love you mom, with all my heart. Thank you for loving me enough to make me the person I am. I only pray I am half the mother and wife she was.......

mymaw was the best, and she played ball better than my mom, and i miss her so much, it hurts inside alot. i wish she was still here, but since she is not, i am glad she is with God, cause he will take care of her and protect her. i know that she has no more pain or suffering, but i still miss her alot. I LOVE YOU MAW! THANKS FOR ALL YOU DID FOR ME!
