Thank you Mother for the way you raised me. Good times and bad you made me strong so I knew I could handle any situation that came my way. You made me honest and to have compassion for those in need. I have always felt that what ever was put before me in life, I would have the courage to move forward and triumph. I will dearly miss you, and cannot imagine Holiday dinners without you. I will move forward and continue on with you in my memories, because of the way you raised me. I love you and will never forget you. You are no longer suffering and have started a new adventure. Although my heart is broken, I am happy for you Mother. Love always, your daughter Renee.
