My dearest momma: Your funeral was held on February 12th, 2016. It was everything you would have wanted it to be, and for me as well. Such a touching and beautiful tribute to the woman I called momma & loved unconditionally. I have found some closure now that the services are over, however seeing your grave marker was really the ultimate of you being gone. I miss you momma, nothing can replace our bond or the love I still have for you, and always will. I know you are with Daddy, and I pray you have been reunited with your beautiful mother, Caroline, your loving sister, Grace, and all those who passed before you. I cried for you last night, or was it more for me? Even though I know you are in Heaven, I still hurt inside at your loss. So much of you is in me. I have so many of your wonderful traits and your bubbly personality. So many people have told me how much we look alike. I carry a bit of your ashes in a beautiful heart shaped pendant around my neck, and so does Karen. This, makes me feel like you are with me always; it never comes off (except when I shower). Jamie bought us these as special gifts. She to misses her favorite Auntie, and clings to the memories of all of us together. I visited your's and Daddy's graves last week, and talked to you both through the grace of our Lord. I know that we will be re-united again in the kingdom of our Lord, Jesus Christ. I love you momma. Your baby girl, Donna
