Today I lost my angel, my protector, my world.Someone who gave so much to others and asked for so little in return.She only saw the good in everyone a pure heart and soul.To know her was to love her, a true treasure to behold.You have given me all the tools I will ever need, no need to worry about me, I know you will always be right by my side forever and always. I love you mom…
