Mama,how can I begin to tell how much it meant to me to have such a special bond that we had. I miss our daily telephone conversation,I miss your smile, I miss you laughter, I miss hearing you tell me that you love me!!! You had a way about you that made the darkest day turn into the brightest one! I know in my heart that heaven is rejoicing because they have received a beautiful angel with a heart of gold. The pain of losing you is eased at the knowledge of knowing that the pain you suffered is over and that God has given you a new body without pain!! God bless this earth with a special lady for 91 yrs and He blessed me with a wonderful Mother for 53 yrs!! If I can be half the wife and mother you were to Daddy and all of your kids then Randy, John, and Amber will be blessed also!!!! I love you and miss you may God hold you in his arms till we are together again!! Love you always Laura
