I think about you every day and will never forget you . Rest now Mom until we see each other again. All of your friends and family spoke of how you were such a kind and gentle soul. This is true. It is one of the things I loved most about you. You always had time to listen and give advice. You were always there for us.I miss not being able to call and talk with you or come visit you. I Will Love You Mom Forever . Love Jane.
