My Sweet Momma,
All the years we had together just wasn't long enough, but it's ok because Our Lord in Heaven called you home. He must need a strong angel like you on His team. The years we had were amazing, that's for sure. I learned something new from you constantly, either by visits or on the phone. You could always tell when one of us kids needed you. We didn't agree on everything, but we worked it out. You gave all three of us kids some really good advice. Maybe we didin't seem like we heard you; but Mom, we did. None of us would be who we are without you. You were a great person and an awesome Mom. I thank you for all you taught me. I am a better person for it. You held your head high through all you've been through; and Mom, I know it couldn't have been easy, but you did it for us. Thank you, Mommy! I could go on and on; but please, everyone, I just want you to know we had a beautiful Mom, and she will be missed by a lot of people, but especially me, my sister and my brother, as well as her grandchildren. She loved them so much. Thank you all for being here for us and our mom. She was a very special person. Love you, Mommy, and we all will miss you; but we know you'll always be with us in our hearts and memories! Till we see each other again, love you. Thank you everyone.
With all my Love, Momma,
Janet.
