“I love you mama, you were so loved and will deeply be missed by everyone who was lucky enough to call you Mom, daughter, grandmother, family, or friend. You leave behind your laughter, your endless stories, your stubbornness, strength, and countless memories that we will carry for the rest of our lives. I’ll carry you with me the rest of mine. Until I see you again Mama
