Hi Mom, It has been months since you passed on to Heaven and we all miss you very much!  It is December and almost Christmas Day; a time of year you so loved!  We will not have your body with us this year but in our hearts and minds your here with us.  Each memory is in the little things, like decorations you cherished, warm pies you'd make, and time lines you cared about.  I want you to know I hug you every day and every night and say I love you.  I so wish you were here to give me the strength I need to follow in your foot-steps.  You died and became my hero! -- Not for the craziness life offered up but for the strength you had to endure it.  Cancer nor Dementia could erase your spirit --most days -- and we are thank-full for that! I wish I could take some of the special moments and relive them and throw out any arguments we shared -- for they now mean nothing -- your love meant the world to us all. If your out there somewhere and can see this -- please know your missed and loved deeply!  If your able -- tell Dad, Raymond, Nana, Aunt Lillian & Uncle Howie, Pepere John & Memere, Montaunt Lee & Uncle Bob, Auntie Mary, Auntie Annette, Uncle Al, Aunt Pearl, Mom & Dad Gardner and so many more that we loved and lost; that we miss and cherish them too with holiday Hugs for all ... especially you!

Love Always & always, and always,

Your daughter, Yvonne Lee   (placed on Legacy/Browns Funeral Home December 22/2017)
