Momma I just wanted to let everyone know how proud I am of you. We did not have much when we were growing up but we did have an abundance of love though some times it was tough love but neccessary. We also had a great deal of acceptance, we were all different in our own ways and you never once gave up on any of us. I appreciate every thing you did for us up against the insurmountable odds facing you. I only have two kids but still even with a two parent household it is a constant battle to do what is best and right for them. I had no idea of the give and take it takes to keep things moving seemlessly, in any and all aspects of life. I do not have any regrets having you as a mother, I would not have wanted it any other way. I will cherish the memories good and not so. You will always be in my heart and thoughts, I will for ever look up and talk to you for you were the first love I ever knew. I know that I mad you proud becuase you told me, I did not do it on my own, I had help from lots of people, most of whom were at your memorial today. I want to thank them all for touching my life and helping me along it's path. Becuase of the help I received I will gladly help anyone in need and I know that would also make you proud. One thing I am really proud of is the fact that even though you were overwhelmed you found the time to volunteer at various charities. I hope that I am so fortunate to give what you gave. I will miss you dearly, but I know you are only a thought away, Love always your son, Chris
