Mom...still can't believe you're gone and I won't hear "so, what's going on for today" any more. I keep looking in your room to see if you're sitting in your chair reading the paper. You'll be in my heart till I meet you in Heaven some day, when I can be in your arms.

Aunt Norma was very special to me. The thought of her brings back happy childhood memories. I can't have a glass of grape juice without thinking of her generous caring and sweet spirit. I know she went straight to Heaven and I pray I meet her there one day.
