Mom you were the best mother anyone could ever ask for. I miss you so much! I hope you are happy with Dad now. My life will not be the same without you. I will think of you every day. I am so happy you and Dad moved back to Virginia and we had the time we did together. They were great years. Every holiday we spent together was a special time for me. I will remember all of them.
I love you so much!
Bart, Bret and Paul – so deeply sorry to hear about your Mom. Always will have a special place in my heart as she drove us, (me and Bart) on my first date! and was a great mom and always had an open door. Lots of love and prayers to all of you.
