Hi Ms. T. You will truly be missed. You were an instant part of my life the second I met your daughter (Mara). You were very protective of her, as a mother should be, but at the same time you accepted the changing times. I will never forget the day you told her that my jeans were too big for your washing machine - they have gotten smaller now - ;) Or the days you would tell me to "put the brakes on" and I'd ask you why? You'd say to me, "so you won't get old."

I also want to let you know that the aloe plant I brought from your house has had many offspring transplanted all over my neighborhood. It has thrived.

I loved you like my own mother and I would do it all over again. Now be with God and rest in eternal peace. Please say hello to mom for me.
