Dear Mom, I hope I’m living the life you wanted me to and that I’ve made you proud. I will always love you and could never thank you enough for all the things that you taught me through the years.
Mom, I was honored to be in your presence and share that pediatric nurse bond. I am glad you are no longer hurting and pain free. Your light and love live on in each of the people you loved and who’s lives you touched. Until we meet again. Blessed Be!
I remember my cousin Mary Anne Mitchell with great affection. It’s been many years since the last time we were in the small room in Richmond, VA. My mother, Peggy Lee Wells, was her aunt – both were from High Point, NC. Rest in peace, Cousin Mary Anne.
