“Mom, you left us way to soon but you put up one heck of a fight. Cancer didn’t win, you did, you are now pain free and back in dad’s arms. We promise you we will be ok because we have each other and we won’t break our promise to you. Until we meet again, Mom, watch over us all and keep us safe. Give Dad a big hug and kiss from all of us. We love and miss you so much!”
