"Mom I miss you more then anything right now. It doesn't feel the same with out you. My heart has a big hole in it. Idk how to handle it yet. When I'm alone I think of you and ask why did my mom have to go. It hurts so much but I'm trying to stay strong for Dad, Justin and the kids. We all love and miss you so much. "
