In loving memory of Dianne Hill-Peterman, whom God called home November 5, 1995.

Mom,

It's been thirteen long years since you've been gone.

As time goes by without you and days turn into years, they hold a million memories and a thousand silent tears.

Although we are apart, your spirit lives within me, forever in my heart.

No one knows the silent heartache that never goes away.

You did not go alone – for a part of me went with you the day you went home.
