Ama,
There are no words that express how very special you were and will always be to me. You have always been in my heart. You were such a big part of my life, I will always cherish our special moments together. I will always remember laughing with you & crying to you. Melanie and I feel so fortunate that Ava and Olivia were able to have you be such a big part of their lives. I love you so much, I already miss you, I will NEVER forget you.
Although we did’nt know you well, we enjoyed the time we spent with you and the love we have for the exceptionally wonderful daughter you raised (Elaine) has no bounds. Life did not spare you trials and from our understanding and observations you weathered those trials with grace and dignity. Those lessons are your legacy and reach far beyond your immediate family. Knowing that your work here on earth is complete, may you rest in peace.
