The world changes from year to year, our lives from day to day, but the love and memory of you, shall never pass away.
I have an angel watching over me.
She is my mom.
To my mother in heaven, thank you for always loving me and guiding me. Even though you are no longer here with me I can still feel your love guiding me. You are ALWAYS in my heart. I love you and miss you dearly.
