Death notice for the town of: Wildwood, state: Florida
My beloved mother and absolute best friend. I think about her every waking hour of my life. The light in my world is long gone, leaving me far too early. We were side by side in life almost every day, neighbors and best friends, together. I’d gladly give 20 years off my life just to spend one more day together with her.
