CONDOLENCES

From:        Your Daughter Carol Miller Bradshaw
Relation:    Daughter

Ma - I'm writing this to you tonight, before I fly out tomorrow to be with you and the family for your final goodbye.  I want to let you know that I'm so sorry I couldn't be there with you during your final days, but am happy that we were able to talk for a short time.  Tonight is Sunday night, and one of our special nights that we would talk and share the week.  This is the first Sunday night we haven't talked since 1975, because even when you were in the hospital I was able to call and have someone hold the phone to your ear, and tell you I love you.  I'm sad tonight and already miss our calls.  Even though we talked several times a week, the Sunday night call was always a special one; one that we discussed the week before, and one that we talked about our week ahead.  I'll be there tomorrow, and will be there with you for our final visit.  I love you more than words can describe, and I'll miss you every day.  You were my Rock, and my example of how to live my life.  Thank you for making me as strong as I've become.  Jack won't be able to come home with me; but he's there is spirit, and we will always have you in our hearts!  We know you're with Dad, and your special Sheba and Queenie, and that you're strong again.  I'll be talking to you every day, and hope you'll guide me through any struggles that I may face.  Love you forever, and you're always in my heart, your loving daughter, Carol XOXO
