My Mom was the best Mom I could have every asked for , she was also the best Grandmother to my two boys...she showed unconditional love and was always there for us. I will miss our daily phone conversations that she never wanted to end! How I wish I could talk to her now. Life will never be the same without her and we will miss her so much. I Love you Mom....until we meet again. Christy

Christy, when I think of your Mom I remember how sweet she was to me when I stayed over. She was always trying to feed us and she even ironed that terrible shirt for me, the one with all the ruffles that was so hard to iron! Anyways, those memories make me smile, just wanted to share.:heart: Angela Mannino
