Words can never express the hole in my heart but I find comfort knowing that you have received your reward for a battle well fought. You now sit at the right hand of our heavenly father along side Jesus. Wear your crown proudly, you have earned it. Thank you for giving me my wings to fly,, I will never forget our conversation. I promise to continue to make you proud of me. Thank you for the strength that you passed down to me. You gave me big shoes to fill and I am honored to be your daughter. To whom much is given much is required... I promise you that as much as God has given me, that I will spend the rest of my life in service to God and others. Rest well my beautiful mommy.. Save a seat for me.
Mami, your son Boogie wanted me to post this for the family to see. You were 13. He remembered how happy you were when he had given it to you. Love you siempre ..
