I wake up each day and ask myself how can you be gone. My logical side tells me we had you for 84 years and you had a good life. You told me your wish was to see your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and you couldn’t ask God for more. You told me you were ready. But I wasn’t ready. 
Each day I thank God for giving me the gift of being with you a few days before you passed. That I got to hold your hand. That I got to tell you I loved you. I know you are with Aunt Marlene and Chris and our loved ones that are gone. I know you are looking over us. 

You were a driving force in our family. You were my mom and I will miss you for the rest of my life. I love you.

There are so many stories, memories and happy times to remember.  My mother was beautiful, loving, caring and funny.  She was always there for me throughout my entire 52 years.  She made me laugh, she took care of me and my boys, but most of all she loved us more than anything in this world.

I miss you mom, I will always love you and I can’t wait to hug and kiss you again x
