An Open Letter to My Mother;

Where do I even begin to tell you how much you mean to me.

I love you with all my heart. You are a wonderful mother and my best friend. I will truly be lost without you. I know you are in a better place now and I will think about you everyday. I can't begin to explain how many friends you have. They love you and will miss you deeply.

I am so happy that you found happiness with Jim. I know how much he meant to you.

I need you so much during this time, so please look over me to keep me strong. Always know that you meant the world to me and always will. I will one day see you again in heaven. I love you with all my heart.

Love always, Rachel
