Mom I miss you much!!!! It was a sad day yesterday not having you here. I thought about all of the good times we had and how blessed I was. So many times I reach for the phone to call you because I need to tell you something. You were the best mom ever!!!!! I love you so much and miss you even more!!!! Iva Lou
ReplyDeleteMom - well tomorrow will be the 4th of July. It seems every day gets harder and harder without you. Tomorrow we would be making fried chicken, baked beans and potato sald and getting ready for lunch. Then go to the cemetary and check on all of the flowers on the graves. I know you are in a far much better place but I love you and I miss you so much!!!! Love, Iva lou
