I think of how hard you laughed at my dream. Both Sara and Brianna have had dreams of you, so I know you're ok. You would've been proud of my invention for gravy and dressing. But I know you were right there helping me. I guess God was watching Shelley struggling and decided to take her to be with you. Please watch over D. I also want to say "Thank you" for giving birth to me at 42. And thanks for being you. Love and miss you so much. Your loving daughter Laurie
