Mom,
You were my best friend and I miss you so much. I know you are in a better place without pain, but you are always in my heart.
Love Cindy,

How wonderful it was to have had my Auntie Toot in my life all these years. She was like an older sister, a mentor who taught me how to take dares and enjoy life, a friend when I needed one. She was there when my mother died, her sister, and told me ‘we’ll be okay’. She was there when my oldest son was born, and said ‘guess what you had, a boy, and he’s yellow’. We shared an unspoken love for each other that I will always cherish. It’s hard to put into words how much I will miss her.
