It's been a hard time for us to go on without you, but remember we Love You and ow we have to be strong because all we have is each other. There's not a day that goes by we wish you were here with us. Everyday something reminds us of you because you're always with us in our hearts and souls. We'll remember your kindness and loving care you always had for all of us. WE ALL LOVE YOU, WE ALL MISS YOU, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, REST IN PEACE.
