Mom I will miss you fiercely; you never fought with kid gloves you fought with gloves of a true champion in all battles you faced. May the engines ROAR loud in heaven as your delicate petals fall peacefully and gracefully, as now you become my guardian angel, my beacon of light that guides and illuminates, my tower of resilient bravery; 143.
