Momma I miss you. You were my dearest friend, most trusted confidante, my North Star.
Life will never be the same without you.
I pray that you have found the peace that you most assuredly deserve.
Please hug my Mark for me momma. I am so glad he has you with him now. You two will be my voice of reason, & my proof that there is such a thing as unconditional love.
You will be forever in my heart.
I love you momma,
Lisa
