    My days are longer and very sad without my mother. She spent 3 1/2 years in the nursing home…it was like a prison for her…and when she passed away it was as if God had given her get out of prison papers…She will not suffer anymore..She is in God’s hands with her family members and my daddy. She has gone to a better place….and I will remember her and my father all the days of my life. I will be very sad for a long time….I love them both.

    Your baby daughter. (Party)
