Mom, How does the only son, the baby of the family even begin to tell of the countless years of love, affection, attention, understanding and support that you gave me? There simply isn't enough time nor space here to do you justice. Thank you for all the countless nights that you spent up with me when I was sick - and there were so many. The pains and hurts in my lifetime, the disappointments, ups and downs. Always being there for us and I remember when I was small and I used to cry when I had to leave to go to school everyday that you would put a lipstick 'kiss' on a tissue for me to put in my shift pocket to remind me that you were with me. Of all the times you protected me when dad was upset and ready to scold me or punish me for something (normally deserved). How can I ever even begin to say the things that I rarely told you while you were HERE - let alone NOW - that you are gone? When we all meet again I will smile and tell you of the millions of smiles you gave me, hugs and things that you did for me to show us how much you loved us three children. Until then - you will be missed and life will never be the same again w/o you being part of our world. I love you mom with all my heart and I am sorry that I was not here when you passed away to say goodbye to you.
