Hey Bigmama,This is your Pooch. I know you are no longer suffering, and you have internal peace and comfort now. It seems like yesterday I talked to you. I enjoyed talking about our road trips to Mississippi, eating boiled peanuts and boudin as a child. I don't know why Michelle didn't want any. As you said, she doesn't know good eaten, lol. I have so many memories of you. I love that you loved me. I often would talk to you, and you encouraged me and made me laugh. You never forgot a birthday, never failed to tell me you love me. Say hi to Pie for me. I know you all have lots to chat about. Tell him I'm okay. I will miss you dearly.
