I will always remember her tell-it-like-it is attitude. If she loved you and cared for you, it meant you were truly special to her. If she really liked you, she told you to call her mom. I am proud to say, she liked me. Have a safe trip to Heaven, mom. Please give Mandy my love and a great big kiss.
