    I will miss my mother dearly. I find peace and comfort in knowing that she is no longer suffering with pain physically and emotionally. She is reunited with my brother, Travis and the rest of our family who have crossed over. She loved life, she loved all people, and she loved the Lord. She was my biggest fan and told me daily how much she loved me, and how proud she was of me. I'm lighting a purple candle in her memory as purple was her favorite color. I know that she will be watching over us all and guiding and protecting her family and friends from up above. She was a force to be reckoned with on this earthly plane and I believe she will continue to be a strong force in the spiritual world. I love you, mom. I know one day you and Travis will open up the gates for me. 🫶
