Nowatta, darling I was looking @ Obits for someone else & unfortunately ran across your Mother. I am so very sorry for both your loss & not being aware of it until now. I promise I would have been there!! I know there is nothing I can say to make your heart ache any less, God knows if I could, I would. I am so glad I got to see her ( and you of course) back @ Teresa birthday. I enjoyed visiting with you both so much that evening. As life so often has it, I really planned to stay in touch. I am so sorry. I know she was so proud of the young lady, Mother, that you have become!!! We both have our Mom's as another Guardian Angel. Now they can be together again as well. I do not have FB but you will now. I would love to chat/visit, be there for you if at all possible. I am shocked it has been nearly a month & I just learned of this. Baby girl please keep your head high, remember the good times, the happy moments and most importantly , It is never goodbye but rather, I will see you again soon. I love you Angel!!!
