“Mom, we just want to say our last good-bye, actually it’s not good-bye, it’s see you next time. Hope you are at peace now and comfortable as can be. We are sure everyone was waiting for you with open arms. We wish we could know how it is where you are and how happy everyone up there was to see you. Your time with us was short but we all will carry on your beautiful soul momma. I “Shelby” am going to miss everyone thinking you and I were twins. I hope God is taking care of all your needs that you ever needed. Mom, I will miss you taking over an hour to do your eyelashes because they had to be thick and perfect. Please from your kids and loved ones, enjoy your time in Heaven mom, because you deserve it. You’re free now, spread your wings and fly. Until we see you again.”
We love you forever mom!
We love you forever mimi!
