My dearest Aunt and Uncle, I regret not making up this summer to see you. I promised next year and still never made it to the Eel Pout Festival. You both have impacted my life in so many positive ways and I am glad that I have so many great memories with you and of you!

I knew David from the old neighborhood in NE Minneapolis. When I found out about the accident memories came flooding back and the one that stands out the most is the first time I met David and looked into his eyes, those eyes...need I say more. I am so sorry for your loss. Time does not heal, but it does lessen the pain. Cherish the memories you have of them and remember their love will never die. It was a gift given freely. Prayers for you and your family. Again so very, very sorry.

I'm so thankful for the many years that I had the privilege of having Tammy and Dave in my life. We've shared good times and bad, and had many great times together. I will always cherish the "priceless" memories and forever hold them both close in my heart. Take comfort in knowing they are with all our other angels. I'm sure Tammy and Dave's candles will never burn out, as they will always be a glow. Keep the strength and faith, they were both so proud of you!

Dear Kaycie,
My deepest sympathies go out to you at this very difficult time. I'm sure you don't remember me but your mom and I were inseperable from the mid 70's to the early 80's. She was the maid of honor in my wedding and i was in the delivery room when you were born and even cut your umbilical chord so you will always have a special place in my heart. My prayer for you is that you will find strength through this and in time find peace and comfort in your memories. i will always cherish my memories of your mom.
