I just finished reading through all the nice things that were said by all about Mom and it was very touching and all so true. I was feeling very melancholy yesterday and a smile was brought to my face when Ashley answered the phone yesterday and said "Yello" just like Mom always answered. Also, when I was taking a bath last night Lilly winked at me. Maybe these are all signs from Mom.
I truly miss our morning phonecalls. Even when Mom was so ill towards then end she still found the energy to say a few words to me everyday. She was always there for everybody with an open ear and the laughter to make your day better. I can still picture her rolling her eyes when she got annoyed with somebody. I'll always remember the water aerobics classes we took together and walking around southshore.
I know you're very proud of our whole family and you're smiling down from heaven as we go through everyday life. I know you will look over us and keep us safe until we meet again.

Love always, Claudia
