11 years since you left to join Johnny, your mom and your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It feels like yesterday we were talking on the phone, laughing, crying, telling jokes (you telling the jokes) and really funny ones. And always loving and encouraging each other. You were my closest friend all my life and I knew when I was nine years old, I was born to protect you. Mom, you gave me so many gifts and I graciously thank you for loving me unconditionally all my life,. That is the greatest gift of all! I pray to make heaven shine brighter for you. I pray here in 2023, my light shines for all to see and this light will brighten your eternal light!!! I love Mom, Virginia Irene, forever and ever you are in my heart!!!
