It’s hard to go there…
I really don’t want to.
It hurts a lot when I reflect.
So much of her is in me through her loving heart, when My mom wasn’t around she was
She has this big family and somehow took on my Mom’s too. What an amazing person.
Love you always Aunt Dee.
Thank You Aunt Dee.
One can have many different folks in similar roles, who share your life. But, there will always be only one Mom!
My heart feels your pain!
Very sweet and kind lady. Glad I was able to share some time with her. May her legacy of generosity live on through those she left behind.
