I miss you more everyday, your son Jeff

Mom, words can't say how much I love you and miss you. There wasn't a day that we didn't talk or miss seeing each other. No matter how old I was, you would always say "There goes my Baby." I know your work is not over but you just took a break. I have comfort in knowing that the doctor appointments and hospital stays are over now. I love you so much mom. And will give you all the hugs and kisses I can when we meet again. - Consuelo
