Last two days have been the absolute worst days of my entire life. Your so kind hearted and amazing teacher to us kids. And I only want this pain that I have inside me and inside everyone else who attended your memorial, I just wanna take all their pain away. I don’t think I’ve even cried for myself really. The pain is immensely overwhelming and powerful… so powerful it could knock you down. I promise won’t let anything like that happen momma you will always be my queen of my life momma love you is like food for my souls. I don’t even now how to go on with out you. But I will. Your whole family thought everything was beautiful.
Momma I love you so much.
I just want you to know I plan on doing something with my life. It’s better late than never. You should know you are my driving force in my life. It’s been great. I love you
