Mom, you will forever be part of us, not a day goes by that you are forever in our mind.  Even though we can’t see you, we feel you by our side.  The emptiness that we carry cannot be put into words because of the joy you gave to everyone that loved you endlessly.  You will always be our everything Mom and we love and thank you for what we have become today.  A pure golden heart that shone so brightly led a path in loving everyone and everything that surrounded you.  Your chipmunks, birds and squirrels will continue to be cared for.

A celebration of life will be decided at a later date.
