I can't believe it's been 30 years since you have left us. My heart aches and the tears flow as if it was yesterday. Mama I just turned 73 years old same age as when you passed and I just wish I could have been half the beautiful woman so tender-hearted that you were. I know you are in heaven with Maryann Norm Joe and my husband Tommy please tell them how much I miss them.. a mother can never be replaced your loss is unbearable. No one knows the loss of a mother unless they have lost one and it is such a vacant place that only a beautiful wonderful mother like you could fill. I wish you were here to share the memories with the kids and grandchildren and help me through all the struggles and storms of my life. You were always there to help me no matter whether I was wrong or right and always showed me the unconditional love of a mother. I miss you so much and I know someday we'll be together I love you Mom I miss you terribly.
