Mom, No one will ever replace the love and caring you gave me. You are my life long inspiration and mentor. Anything I have ever done was in the hopes of making you proud. You gave it all you had and fought your battle with dignity, poise, and such unconditional love. Thank you for being a "true grit" role model to my children. I thanks God's good graces you fought the battle long enough to be a real part of their lives; and they miss and love you so. Thank you for taking me in and helping me get back on track the last couple years. I truly needed my Mommy and you never disappointed me, always with that tough love approach. My life and heart have a void that will never be filled. Your loving son...Curtis
