    Coming up on the 7th year of loosing you, mom. I miss you like crazy !!! The older I get, the more like you I get. You have 2 more great-grand babies, but you already knew this. I love you ! It’s really hard sometime. I know you were surprised to greet Jimmy, and see Rocky there, I only found out about Rocky doing a family search, sooo young, Michael will get to know him now. I know he was dancing a gig when Rhoda passed, they were so in love for so many years. Take care of Lala, I know she’s young & healthy now as all of you are, playing with the “pack” of Maltese she grew up with, who knew a pit-bull & Maltese would be friends,!!! I love you mom, I miss you mom xoxo, your baby, Karen
