To Our Mama: Our hearts are broken and our tears are flowing. We can only think of what a great and loving mother you were. Through good times and bad times-we had plenty of both-you kept us strong and brought us through, time and time again. What strength and courage you had. Your faith and love for God was such an example for us all-that was a gift I wish the whole world could have (what a better place it would be). Mama, we love you so much-you know our hearts. Thank you for everything. You are so wonderful. We will see you later.
