Dear Mom, Words can not express the loss I feel right now. However, I find comfort in knowing that you are now free of pain and soaring among the Angels of Heaven. For twenty years of my life you have been an Angel to me. Teaching me lessons in life. From the first day I met you, you welcomed me into your home, your family, and most of all, your heart. You loved me unconditionally and for that I am eternally grateful. For I will miss you more than any words can express. Your spirit and your love will be with me forever. I promise that I will keep the promise I made to you and graduate from medical school. Now more than ever, I know that I will succeed with you being my inspiration to go the distance and the wind beneath my wings to carry me when I get tired. For Heaven was missing an Angel, and God called you Home. I celebrate you por vida!!!! Trace
