"Death is not the greatest loss in life.  The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live" Mom, my forever best friend.  My heart is forever broken.  How do I continue my journey in life without you by my side.  You were my rock, my mentor, the one who taught me to become the person I am today.  I will forever be grateful for you and dad and for everything both of you have given me.  Til we meet again. "Your life was blessing. Your memory a treasure."
