Dear Mom, I wish heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that’s nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and pictures in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I’ll never part. God has you in his arms but I have you in my heart. – Author Unknown
