Dear Mother, It's been almost 9 this years this June, since you went to heaven.  I miss you more every day.  I think of all that you sacrificed to be my mother and I am so grateful to you for your love and wisdom.  I can't wait to see you again.  Until then, I' will keep the light burning for you in my heart.   Mommy, without the lessons that you taught me I would have never survived. All my love always, your daughter Nita.
