As we remember her even 1 year after her passing it still brings back tears and laughter, the love and the strength she gave all in her family will be carried wherever we go, I remember the last time I saw her a couple of days before she passed I remember everything she said, she held my hand the whole time and made me promise to do well in school and not wait too long to see her again, I laugh every time I think of when she asked me to bust her out of the nursing home to go to an old church, I'll always remember that, I'm glad it brought laughter I live and will miss you always.
