"I loved sitting up late and talking with mom about life. We'd share stories about how she grew up and dreams I had for myself. She loved all my friends and the kids in the neighborhood. Mom was never selfish, she always gave her all and fought for us kids. I loved how she never seemed scared of anything. I will always cherish her smile, laugh and love of life. I remember coming in late some nights and she would be sitting on the couch, smoking a cigarette or eating a bowl of cereal. She was a great cook and loved to cook for her family. Mom loved Pepsi, butter bread and cigarettes!! Most of all, mom taught me how to love. Thank you mom for all the years of support and love. Until we meet again..,xoxo"

"Late night smoking and chatting on the couch, her hanging out with me and my friend Ruth. Her telling me stories about her life and family while sitting up late at night. Her asking me, "when am I going to see your pretty face?" When I was 4 her asking me how on Earth there is room in the bed for me with all my stuffed animals. My reply, "they need covers too". She completely accepted that as a great answer. "

"To my mom, Every Christmas time, we sit at night and listening to Lite 102.9 about all the stories about love ones who lost someone or found someone and great miracles about god. Mom did not care if a person is a certain reglion, only she care for that person as their self. Mom was a unselfish person which I will always love her. Bye, Bye, Bunnyrabbit, Bunnyrabbit, it is a joke from me to her at the nursing home. Love you always, your best friend and daughter, Tamara Michelle"
