Your smile was very contagious right along with your amazing sense of humor and the love you have to even. I want to thank you for being there for me as I was growing up and I am truly sorry I didn’t keep in contact with you through the years. You will truly be missed and forever loved and I will carry you in my heart forever. So, go rest high on that mountain where you are no longer in pain. I love you momma Doreen.
