Momma
Your strength was the greatest of anyone ive ever known
Your suffering is finally over
Rest in peace
You taught me through all this to fight and never give up
Although sometimes your language was foul
U carried a smile through the worst pain
The things you endured seemed unbearable to me but you stood and you took it straight on lije a true champ
I will forever remember our chemo roadtrips and how brave you always were
You are my strength
Im so proud to call you my mom

My dearest momma
What a journey it has been
As we go through life sometimes we question why things happen or why god allows us to go through these trials and tribulations without a moments notice
You were definately one of a kind
A strong willed determined women maybe foul mouthed at times but also a contagious smile and a heart of gold
People were drawn to u infectiously
I am honored to have been a big part in your accompanying to chemo transport and hanging out with you as u endured this terrible disease that has taken so many
Not once did u ever not smile even through the pain and agony that u endured
You were one of gods soldiers
Youve made me such a strong person and i hope i can always live up to yer strength
He called you because he needed you more then we
Till we meet again i love you to the moon and back

Dearest momma, I am thankful that I was able to spend time with you recently. The two weeks in September were very educational and fulfilling. While you were in Pittsburgh, I saw that as my opportunity to care for you much like you cared for me when I was a newborn. When you were at the Manor I liked bringing you the Italian wedding soup and sometimes you would let me feed you. You were a very strong and resilient woman and I hope that I will have that same strength when I need it. There were times when your outbursts were embarrassing or you used too many "F" bombs but that was who you were. You were a unique, one of a kind mom and woman and I was blessed to have known you. Thank you for being "you". Thank you for allowing me that one last opportunity to spend time with you on Saturday. It will always be a special memory for me. I hope the angels will embrace and appreciate your feisty nature. I will miss you and will see you again one day. All my love - your Kimmy BooBoo.

My dear dear "Wosey", as Carol said , God has his plans for each and everyone us and gave us each our own journey to accept with you through your life, whether good, bad or difficult and mine was to be your caregiver. Through this time, I''ve learned of acceptance, patience, kindness, forgiveness and not to hold resentment as we travel on in life. Yes, at times Wosey, I wanted to pull my hair out, walk away because you made me mad but I couldn''t. You are you and the mother I was blessed with in this life. Your quirky behaviors, "expressions of love" and bullheaded determination is what everyone loved about you as so did I. You were the center of my world these last several years and your new journey has left a void. I know you are where you need to be now sitting in your rocking chair in heaven looking down on all your "DRBs". I will miss you loads Wosey and hope you know your "little B" loves you. Send dad my love and I will be seeing you both again. All my love.....Linda

Mom I know you no longer are in pain.You fought the good fight!!! I am so proud of you for your strength, determination, and never quitting.It was my pleasure to take care of you during these last 25 years of your life. Although there were difficult times we always got through it. Let''s be honest you were hard core and relentless at times. When we had these difficult times I would sometimes wonder why God leaves the difficult ones behind to deal with. I have my answer now....I realize God wants us to accept you for you, to grow with you, and to accept the things we can''t change. He wanted us children to get to know you on your terms. To grow A relationship with you out of Love. Although at times it was difficult we made it through. I enjoyed our times together, our cohabitation in 2014 thru 2015. All the chemo sessions we attended together, and the endless appointments and testing you had. The strength and can do attitude you had was unbelievable.
Mom I pray I have half the strenghth you had when I am your age. As you go on your next journey I will truly miss you. I send all my Love with you. Until we meet again!! All my Love Carol
