Dear Mom, We've all been so busy and taking care of things that we're supposed to for you I really haven't had too much time to think about you being gone cuz I still can't accept it. But when I do sit down and think about it believe me it just ripped my heart to pieces I know that I'm supposed to be happy that you're not in pain and that it was your time I just don't think it was quite the time. Mom you know all the things we talked about and we did and we said before you got really bad towards the end I don't know what I'm going to do if you're not here with me to be my team player. Everything that we shared you've always got my word I will make sure that I do as you wanted me to and I will Mom. This has been hard on everybody and but it's different for everybody, different relationship, different bonds, but the daughter and bond that we shared what's priceless. I hope at night and I continue to watch our little videos that we watched and laughed so hard every night, I hope you're sitting right beside me and watching them with me let me know you're with me. I know Brandi was so glad to see you and Dad and I know you was really glad to see Brandi. Remember as soon as I can I will start doing the flowers again for you like you asked. I love you so much Mom and this is so hard it's not fair and I'm not being selfish I would do anything to have you back here with me at home. PS no I had your Milky ways waiting on you but I went ahead and ate them LOL they were good too. I'm so sorry Mama. Love Carol always mama

You will be missed my best friend

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
