ReplyDeleteMom, you are truly missed.
ReplyDeleteBeth, I am very sorry about your mom. I would love to have more here than that she was a victim - what kind of mom and woman she was, what she liked or used to do, a photo... anything. It's up to you though.
ReplyDeleteThe women on this blog are so much more than just victims of crime. People loved them and sometimes I'm very sorry that I can't show that better.
Hugs,
