Dear Mama,
I pray that God has given you the desires of your heart. That the love that was so elusive here…the moment you opened your eyes there you found that you were always so desperately loved. We knew that you were tired, and we said that it would be okay for you to leave, because we knew that we would be okay….when you see Juliet, tell her what your dreams were and share with her how you have been with out her. Let granddaddy and grandma know that every tear they shed hasn't been in vain and that we are going to be alright. Let Dad know that you made it and that you ain't paying him that $2.50. LOL…but above all else…please rest. The life you lived has been laid to rest and above all else you did good.
May God watch between me and thee while we are absent one from another…Amen.
"Love will find you anywhere." I thank God that real love found you.
We love you.
