I have so many good memories of you Mom that I don’t know where to start. I remember how you use to fix my hair by wrapping my curls around your finger. More importantly I remember the loving look in your eyes as you would look from my hair to my face…I hold that look close to my heart and will never let it go. I remember how beautiful you looked in your red coat on Sunday mornings when we went to church. I remember walking into church holding your hand, looking up and thinking you were the most beautiful woman alive and how I wanted to be just like you. I remember how you were a proud woman that loved her family. You enjoyed each and every one of us. You especially loved the times we were all together, talking, laughing and just having a good time. As I got older, you would bring the family together at holidays and celebrations. When I would arrive, your house would smell of good food and fresh baked cookies and pies. You would always greet me with a smile, a hug and kiss. When I would leave, you would send me with a smile, a hug, a kiss and then stand outside waving until you couldn’t see my car anymore. I remember how I would come over to visit you and we would have movie night. I know you looked forward to it and I did too…I just wish I would have done it more. I remember our phone calls and our fried chicken dinners. I miss you. I wanted to be selfish and keep you here but I know that wasn’t what you wanted. You were ready to go, you lived a wonderful loving life and you missed Dad. I’m happy that the two of you are walking together with the people you love: Your parents, Diane, Vince, your babies and Krystal. I’m happy that you are in a place where there is no pain. I love you Mom. Your loving daughter, Kathy
