“I’ve never seen anyone fight for their life like her. She has played so many roles in my life, including that of my second mother. The most selfless person I have ever met.
“Thank you for teaching me unconditional love. No more pain and suffering, rejoice with our Heavenly Father. Have those peaches in paradise you’ve always dreamed of.
