Mom, I am devastated, heartbroken and saddened by your passing even if I know it was for the better it still is hard. I just never even thought of you having to leave us, we didn't even really and truly start to have conversations about what to do or not to do if one of us passes away. The kids and I will miss you dearly and love you to the moon and back, to infinity and beyond.
Love always, Acia
