Dear Mom, I wanted to express my love and thanks to you for all your love and selflessness. I will forever cherish the countless memories I have in my heart of you and I. Just to list a few of my favorite memories, one summer you decided to have a water fight with the hose and buckets, chasing me all around the yard. It was a hot summer in Long Island, that was you, prankster. Then there was the day Jim and I got married, you and I were alone, as you helped dress me, fix my vale, and tell me how beautiful I looked. Though nothing will ever compare to the day James and Nichole were born. I don't think I have ever seen you look so happy and glowing, with such love and joy.. These are just a few of very many memories I have in my heart. I will walk with these memories in my heart for the rest of my days. So its only so long for now, until we are united together in heaven with our Lord and savior. I love you, I thank you, I will miss you! Your loving daughter. Christine
