From Winston,

My mom raised me as an only child on her own with help from family and friends, she loved them all very dearly. My mom has lived a full life even though she died so young.

She was a rebel of many sorts and like all of us had her ups and downs.

She had such a passion for music, I always remember every concert or CD she has ever showed me throughout our lives together. She loved rock more then anything always rocking out and dancing to, The Beatles, 311, Lit, Sugar Ray, No Doubt, Everclear, Queen, David Bowie, Nirvana, Sublime, The Presidents of the United States of America and Alanis Morrissette. We always had music in common no matter what, always sharing new bands and songs together.

She was my inspiration in the arts it was our way of expressing ourselves in light and dark times. I'll never forget the first time we ever saw a professional musical together. My grandma and her mother got us two tickets to see RENT on Tour. I had already known the music but she didn't know much about it, while watching it live she kept arguing the fact that the role of Angel was played by a woman because the man playing the role was so convincing. We cried together throughout that show and we both felt so magical when it began to snow on us in "Christmas Bells." from then on I never stopped doing shows and she would always be supportive and cry at my performances.

In between show dates she would take me to concerts, usually 311 they were her absolute favorite band besides the Beatles. Every concert we went to she was always so vibrant and at her happiest. "High on Life." as the world would say. She would be jumping up and down singing every song the band played till the very end of the concert. The last concert we went to was for the 4the of July. We saw Lit, Sugar Ray and Everclear performing together at the fair and even being the age of 50 she was dancing and singing as if she were 21.

The other great memories I have of her was we always went camping together when I was younger. We went all over the place, my favorite trip in particular was when at our campground we went for a hike and in our return a little chipmunk had broken into our Pringles. Just sitting there on our table munching away staring at us without a care or fear. Shortly after a Doe walked into our camp in the same manner. With no fear or care, she told me the reason was, " The Doe can sense when it is in a safe place and that we would never harm it, that it was a good omen. A way of saying I Love You for who you are."

My mom always loved me and the ones I cared for no matter what. Even if I was in a argument with a friend she would never hate them, but teach me to look at the situations in other ways and to forgive and forget. She would always support others and tell them when they were wrong as well. In her final days she was still peaceful and happy to have lived such a vibrant life and have support. The only time she would show her sad side was because she didn't want me to see her like that.

Words cannot express how much I love her and will miss her but I know she will always be with me and the ones she loved. I only feel better knowing that she is at her fathers favorite campsite at the river in Bridgeport, fishing with her father and brother watching over all of us and showering us with love and dancing and singing with me every time I get on stage as well as all of you.

My final words to her would be from her favorite children's book she used to read to me. " I love you forever, I love you for always my baby you'll be."
