It's been over a year now and still not a day goes by where I don't think of you. You were more of a big sister to me than an aunt. I could talk to you about anything. I dream of you often and feel as if you are really here when I wake up. I see you when Julia laughs and when she's mad. I find comfort in songs that remind me of you. I think your way of letting me know everything is ok. They always play at all the right times....I feel like your close by when I see a rabbit in the back yard or when a bird lands outside of my window. I'll miss you always and I promise to keep the memory of you alive in my heart and also in Julia's. I love you Aunt Trit* xox//lizzie

"Perhaps they are not the stars,
but rather openings in heaven,
where the love of our lost one
pours through and
shines down upon us
to let us know
their souls are at peace."
Eskimo Legend

With love,
Uncle David and Dominique
