I am eternally blessed to have found you. You enriched my life beyond any words I could express to you. I love you, and I am proud to call you mom. You are the strongest person that I know, and you always put others before yourself. I will strive to make you proud, and I know you are in heaven watching over us. Brad and I will love you and remember you forever.

To my dearest BFF/ and my sister in my heart and soul. we talked about death often and we both agreed we weren't ready. We were going to stick it out together as long as we could. Somewhere along the way, for whatever reasons God had other plans. I miss you more than I realized I would. There is an emptiness in my days. Tell everyone you meet that we know that I think of them often. Give your mom and my mom a special hug. Will think of you often.
