Mom - You have no idea how much you are being missed by family and friends. However, we are all relieved that you are no longer struggling in the physical world. You were always in charge in life and took charge of the way you wanted to leave it. As I sit writing this, I am also watching the Packers play and I can hear you cheering them on! GO, GO, GO......! Yes, I made it home safely tonight and had the urge to call and let you know I made it. Ring, ring and hang up was the signal. Let me know that you made it to your destination too! Ring, Ring -- I'll know it's you Mom. I love you and look forward to the day that I will see you again. In the meantime, enjoy your reunion with loved ones who have already taken the journey out of this world. PS: Say "Hi" to Grandma and Grandpa. I know Grandma was there to hold your hand. I saw you looking at her and calling to her for comfort, and I know you have found it.

Mom. I miss you so much already. I thought you would live forever. You were the best mom ever. I try hard to be like you. You taught me so much about life and love and survival. I only hope I can be half the mom you were. I love you forever and always. Susan
