About	Heaven gained another angel tonight. My mom Donna passed away at 7pm, after a short battle with an aggressive stomach cancer. She was very strong till the end as we all know she was a strong willed woman. We got the opportunity to get down to Florida to see her before she passed. I don’t know really what to say or begin. I truly have some regrets about being so far away, but it’s hard to tell your parents not to leave when you want them to enjoy themselves in their retirement. I know she was proud of me in everything I did, especially when it came to Graham. She loved him so much, I know she saw so much of me in him. So much to the point when she was in the hospital she would always watch him. I know she wanted to see us too but I truly think she was reliving her past watching me grow up. I know she is at peace now. I will miss her so very much, including her late night texts. I love you Mom and will miss you forever.
