Brenda and Ann my heart goes out to your family right now and you are in my prayers. I know how much your mom meant to you, I could see the love in your eyes every time you told me something about her. I also know that there is nothing anybody can say right now that will make the pain go away, just know that i love you and if you need me I am only a phone call away.

Hi Mommy, I can't say anymore to you now that I ever have in my life.You were a part of my world that no one would or could ever fill but you.You had the most loving heart of anyone I have ever seen. You gave with unconditional love. A love that is very rare.I hear your voice & laughter & will hold that close to my heart forever. I know you were in a lot of pain everyday & didn't want to be that way, but you gave one hell of a fight to the end. I know you wouldn't have left us if you had that choice,but the only comfort I have right now is knowing you don't hurt anymore. In your body & heart. You "always" wanted your children to get along & I so hope you know right now we are each others strength. You would be proud. The last sweet memory I have of you is kissing your precious hand when I was leaving the hospital & calling me to let me know you were going home.I saw your face light up & that touched my heart. Mommy, I so wish I could have held you & kissed your hand & forehead & felt you touch me one more time before you left. My world will never be the same without you, but know I will be alright. Thank you for waiting on Lenny. I love you forever & a day !!!
