"I am the woman I am, ,because you taught me to be. All my good parts: my eclectic love of music, Dr Hook, The Eagles, Charlie Daniels & Alabama, to The Doors, Rod Stewart & Sir Elton John., my love for crafting. and all my not so good parts: stubborn, straight forward, no nonsense, hardcore mother of a dog. We stood out ground through all of life's challenges. I know going forward alone only means you are now the wind beneath my wings. Until we meet again, I will always love you."
