I felt the need to comment about my mother. She was the heart and soul of our family. I know she will be watching over us making sure, her loved ones are safe and happy.
Stoney, you were her soul mate, she loved you unconditionally, you two were a perfect match! I’m so happy you two found each other, Love you!
Jeanne, you were her first child, you had a bond that no one will ever break, she loved you so, remember that!
Rick, what can I say, you were her boy! The favorite 😉 lol! Hold her love in your heart, there’s so much in there. She’ll be watching over you!
As for me, the baby, momma was my best friend, I’ll never have a more special one as long as I live. She’s been through so much with me and I’ll never forget a single bit of what she has done for me over the years. My heart has a hole that no one will ever fill. I love you mom and am happy that your last days here with us were some of the happiest in your life! I won’t say “Bye.” I’ll say, “See ya” because I know in time, we will be together again. I love you mom, always!
Grandkids, in-laws, friends, remember, when Mom, Oma, Trudy, loved, she loved, and if you were one of the lucky ones to be included in that love, hold on to it and remember her always and hold your memories in your heart. She’ll be watching/protecting us all.
Till we meet again, I Love You Momma, always, Miss You!
