“She was the most significant influence on me and my biggest supporter.”

Despite the fact that Marie was a single mother, she added, she assisted her in moving her family to Los Angeles.

“She owns every talent we have.” Heather remarked, “Anything that drives us is hers.”

“Every day I will miss her, but because my son’s eyes are hers, I will see her there every time I look into them.”

I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to touch her heart as she passed away. Until I die, I shall continue to feel her touch on mine. I adore you, mama. Go easy on yourself. “You are deserving of it.”
