  1. Mother, you look as beautiful on the outside as inside. I remember this picture that Robin took only a few weeks ago, and we laughed until we cried! I feel your presence with me now, so you know how very much I love you and miss you. We will chat often. I am so glad that you are with Heidi now and so happy to see your daughter again. I think I felt a big hug from her just now! You were a wonderful mother and all who knew you loved you. Your loving daughter, Terri
