God blessed our family with you mom. Your love, kindness, and ability to forgive was amazing. Thank you for accepting me for all my faults and taking time to listen to me. Thank you and dad for not referring to me as your “adopted” daughter; just your daughter. Finally you can rest in peace after all that you have dealt with loss of Rick, Gram and Grampa, Aunt Ginny and her boys. It’s our loss but your blessing to be up there in heaven with Our Lord, Our Father, and Family members. If you see your bud, Molanga, please tell him I miss his presence. God Bless you all and watch over ALL of us please. I LOVE YOU MOM
