She was a beautiful person inside and out! She was my best friend for 24 almost 25 years we were just 4 days shorty of 25 years! She was a beautiful soul and so kind! My mother was a wild child loved to be free and happy and her grandbabies. dhe enjoyed every moment she had with them and us kids I will miss her calling me while she was in the hospital just bc she missed my voice and I miss her talking in her sleep every night and just laughing at the off the wall things that she’d be saying while she was asleep! She was very sick before she passed she wasn’t happy she was suffering she didn’t like dialysis. She is better off up in heaven living with our family up there they have missed you up there momma!! I’m so glad to have had you as my mother your beautiful amazing and my hero! I hope to be as good as a mom as you and as strong as you as a mother and as a person because you were stronger then anyone realized even your self your the strongest person I know because you lived the last year and a half with out both your kidneys and the 3 and 1/2 years before that you lived with only 1/4 of a kidney momma! I’m so happy you were picked to be my mother! With all my heart,soul,and being I love you so much and miss you like crazy! You will definitely be missed and you will be honored and remembered because you deserve that! Fly high and rest easy until we meet again my beloved mother!
Love,
your loving babygirl your one and only daughter
P.S. Luna and Abel miss you very much they love you as well mama
