It's hard to find the right words to say when someone looses the most important person in their life. Mary Atkinson is my best friend and it's hard for me to see her going through this experience. Just remember, your Mom will always be looking down on you from Heaven, or walking by your side holding your hand helping you along when you need it most. I love you so much and you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Remember, I'm always here when you need me. Love you, Sharon
