Mom-Mom, not a day goes by that I do not think of you. You loved and lived a full life. You were a very loving and caring woman, who loved being around your family and friends. You are gone, but never forgotten. My beautiful Mom-Mom, you will always hold a special place in my heart. I miss spending time with you in your room, talking to you, and seeing your big smile on your face. I will always cherish all the talks we had and looking at all your jewelry. I know you are watching over your family. The years will always roll on by and time will always pass, but every memory I have of you will definitely always last.
