Mom, I love you so much more than I can express or say. You have been battling cancer, and pneumonia for so long. You were such a fighter but your body just couldn't handle it any longer. you took care of me for 17years of my life until I got on my own, its was only fitting that I took care of you while on hospice during the last 2-3 months of your life. It was my honor to care for you, it was tough but then again I will treasure every moment I spent with you. You are so dearly missed and loved by many. But I'm so lost without this you! My heart hurts so much! I Love and miss you with everything with in me mom and so much more! There's no good byes as I know I will see you again. It's just so hard not seeing your beautiful smile, hearing your beautiful voice or not feeling your love or hugs. Oh how I wish I could have these again I would never let go! I love you so much more than I can say or show! But you are on your new journey in heaven with dad and family and friends, please give everyone hugs and kisses for me tell them I miss them and love them momma! I LOVE YOU MOM AND I PRAY I CAN HANDLE THIS THE WAY YOU WANTED ME TO. You are my best friend, my hero, my mother and most of all you are my everything!

Mom, you were like my second mom and you treated me as if I were your own daughter. I'm happy you are no longer in pain and I know you are looking down on us from heaven but I am going to miss you more than words can say.
