  3. Mom - 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
