Mom, as I sit here today and think about you and today. I’m filled with so many emotions. You were without a doubt the greatest mom. I don’t know how I will continue my days without your many calls, our Saturdays, and the many I love yous. No one will ever know what you meant to all of us. You were my angel on Earth and you will forever be my angel in Heaven. I love you more than anything in this world and I would give anything to have you here. Life will never be the same. I love you forever Mom. Thank you for always loving me and giving me everything you had to give and more.

I had the pleasure for 24 years every four weeks to have this beautiful amazing woman in my chair to make her beautiful. We shared so many stories she’s watched me grow as I’ve watched her and her family grow. I will miss her dearly and I’ve loved her since the day she came to see me rest in peace, my sweet Shirley.
