In memoriam

Mom,

On July 9, 2014, you started your courageous fight to stay with us and on July 15 you had to say "Goodbye,” until we are together again.

It has been the toughest year without you. Heaven got more beautiful the moment you arrived.

I miss you every minute of every day.

Say "Hi" to Granny, Annie, and everyone else.

Granny, you are missed also just as much as the day you said "Goodbye" on Aug 24, 2003.

All my love forever,

Rella and all your family
