Rebecca, we are so sorry to hear about your Mom. I know that your Mom fought hard, and you were right beside her the whole time. You were so blessed to have her, and I know that you and everyone her life touched will greatly miss her. Hold on to those precious memories, and take comfort in knowing that she is in a better place and no longer in pain. She will continue to look down on you and watch over you, and her presence and love will continue to shine through you. We love you and are praying for you. Ricky, Julie, Dakota and Tyler
