My Dear Mother: you were one of the kindest women I knew. You and dad raised us and didn't stop a beat. You both made sure we took trips and visited family out of state. I'm going to miss your presence, your cooking, you asking me every time we talk "how many clients you had today Gina, and how you would say "don't fire her Gina". Sweet lady looked out for everyone. I love you mom and right now I'm wearing your scarf and ring. Don't come fussing at me bc I'm taking one of these beautiful church hats.
Thanks everyone for your kind words.
