Amanda, you were your Mom’s angel here on earth and she will now be your angel in heaven. She will always be in your heart and your memories. Your Mom has found peace from her troubles, and I pray you find peace knowing how much she loved and appreciated all you and Chuck and your brothers did for her. Until you see her again peace be with you my friend.
