It was so heartbreaking to hear of my mom's passing. She was always there for me when I needed a best friend. Her lose has created an emptiness in my soul and my being but the memories of such a beautiful lady will show through. I spent some time with her before her passing to remember such a lady that I call my Mom, Joyce Anne Rawls.

Losing a mother is a pain that cannot be described in words. It is virtually impossible to move on from the memory of losing the woman who sacrificed happiness in her own life so that we could have a better one. A mother's love is truly irreplaceable. (proudhappymama)
Rest in Peace Mom. I think of you everyday.
