Missing You Always: You never said Im leaving, you never said Goodbye, you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still, in my heart I hold a place that only you can fill. It broke my heart to lose you, but you didnt go alone, as part of me went with you the day God took you home. We love you Mom
