Mom, You were so brave in your final days I can only hope to be half as brave when it is my time. I know how sick and how scared you must really have been and how you tried to hide it from us. You worried about us more than yourself to the very end. But that was always your nature. I am so thankful we all had the chance to say goodbye and to tell you how much we all loved you. I will think of you and miss you every day, love Jeff. - Posted by: Jeffery Van Walleghem (Family) on: Dec 11, 2005
