The best mother a daughter could ever ask for and I’m so grateful to have had a mother like you.”
“You were the most kind, sweet, loving, giving, and caring soul. You had the biggest heart. And I don’t know how to go on without you. It all happened so quick & I wasn’t ready for you to go,” she concluded her message.
