Cathy, moms are remarkable people and live in a special place in the hearts of their children. That's why mothers will continue to live even after they pass on. I am sorry for the loss of such a valuable person in your life. My thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with you and your family at this time.

I was her biggest pain in her butt (as my aunt would call me). She was my idol from childhood. Joking with her was always easy. I will always cherish many laughs and the jokes we shared. Her memory will forever live in my heart. She is now with the other love of my life (my granny/her mom). Heaven will never be the same again! Love you forever. Until we meet again. Love Philomena (your favourite niece).
