          I am thankful I got to have 30 years of my life on this earth with her as  my mom.  We will all miss her dearly.  I promise to remember her when she was happy and healthy.  She is so loved.  She was always supportive of me when I was little and even later.  She went to all my games and cheered me on my entire life.  I’m grateful she is no longer hurting and I know she will be an angel and guiding light in my life and her grandbabies.
