To the woman who gave me my best friend… thank you and Godspeed. I pray you rest in the eternal garden, your life was well lived and you were well loved! Thank you also for being a mossas to my littles! You always included them and made them special treasures! I still have the capri purse you made for MacKenzie to hold her lovies! Love you always, Mossas!
