~Sweettalk~

Drink in each day, whether sunny or wet
For today is the best, tomorrow will be even better and the love raining down upon us is not worth missing

Visions and dreams can come true when you try
Don't let them slip away or fly by
No amount of money or possessions can please me
but the love of my friends and light around me can appease me ~

Mike, Janet & Quigg,
I am so sorry for your loss. Mike and Janet had such a great relationship. I will miss laughing to myself when Janet would call to see what you wanted for dinner and Mike would always give back a wise crack answer. I pray for you all and hope that you keep her memories alive as they will always put a smile on your face.
