Dear Mom,

It has only been a few days since you left us and I have never felt so lonely and lost.  I want you to know how much I love you and will miss all your witty little remarks.  You were always there for each of your children in every way possible.  You were truly a MOM who took the time for all our needs.  I can remember all the time you took with each of us so we would learn our Catechism studies.  You made sure we learned all our prayers and every Sunday you made sure we were on time to catch the church bus and if we missed it , we walked to church.  As we grew older you were still there for every little crisis we had in our life.  Mom, you were the had the strongest spirit of any woman I know.  You have been through so much, losing Junior, Dad and then Rose Marie, but you pulled yourself up and continued to be there for the rest of your family.  You are my HERO Mom.  I will miss and continue to love you every day for the rest of my life.

Your Loving Daughter,

Antoinette
