Hi Mom, I have so many good and comforting memories of you that it is hard to capture them all here. You were so good and kind and loving and I will carry you with me every day. You showed us such an example of how to live. I will miss my daily calls to you and you (with Dad piping in the background) telling me not to talk on the cell phone while I'm driving, our trips to Costco where you could spend an hour at the cheese section, the knitting lessons that I should have started much earlier with you to learn your unbelievable talent, your constant offering of food and drink, your offers for a cup of tea, your unbelievable garden and plants and most of all just the comfort that you would give on a bad day. Just hearing you answer the phone made everything OK, even when you were not feeling so well this past year. I know that you are in the highest place in heaven and we are all so lucky to have you as an angel watching over us. It gives me peace to know that you did not have to suffer long and we need to remain strong for you because that is what you would have wanted. Bye for now Mom. I love you. P.S. Dad misses you terribly, also, and we are so happy to still have him because he is your other half. We will do our best to help care for him like he deserves and like you so lovingly did all of these years. You left big shoes to fill.
