Momma, I have no idea how we will go on without you. Even with the difficulties you faced during your life, you always took care of us. You dealt with many hardships and always showed your strength.  We can't believe you're gone and we have no idea how to move forward without you. I guess we have to go on; one day at a time. We were blessed with a brief window of opportunity to tell each other we love you and for that we are blessed and grateful. No regrets, Mom. We never left each other or hung up the phone without saying, "Love and Miss you".  Your earthly struggles are over and I know you are now at peace.  We will do our best to take care of Dad for you. He is already lost without you and misses you terribly as we do, too; he will love you always and so will we.  Love, Dad, Wendy and Gary.
