Tomorrow, we say goodbye to Mom.

There will be hugs, tears, smiles, and stories. There will be food, because being a Kerr means you feed people, and being a Gatenby means you help enforce the law. Through it all, I will have You. I will carry the love you have shown me, as I did six years ago when Dad passed. When the tears come, they will be your tears as much as they are mine, as will the smiles, the laughter, and the hugs. We will both mourn her death, and celebrate her life, and I will think of you all and your kindness throughout the whole day. Thank you DU, from the whole SCE family.

You have us, but more importantly, we have you. Your parents were/are proud of you, always.

Hugs, my friend.

You have brought many of us a lot of joy and laughter, and sense the fruit does not fall far from the tree, we have your parents to thank for you and all you have done for us here.
May she rest in peace with the knowledge that she raised a fine child...and I have to believe that across the vail she knows that and is content.
