For my sister-in-law: I give you this one thought to keep, I am with you still, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on the snow. I am as sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone, I am with you still in each new dawn. This is an old native American poem and one of my favorites. I am so sorry I did not get to see you before you left, say hello to my brother for me. I love you!

Justin and I will always remember Janet at tax time! She did our taxes one year and got us a BIG RETURN :) For the past 2 years I did our taxes and got an ok return and all I heard from Justin was "If Hilary's mom did them we would've gotten a lot more!" We will miss you! (especially around tax time :))

ive never been good with goodbyes or anything like that. but you were a very very special person. I appreciate all the times you took me to bunco with your friends and making me feel like a family member. you were funny and just so lighthearted. i guarantee you that you will be more than missed. your memory will go on forever and will fill up the thoughts of your friends and family. i cannot forget the times we shared talking on the phone for hours about nothing, and opening up and letting me come into your life. I could never repay you for that. dont worry about matt and the baby, i will take care of them until my dying day, i promise you that. i will try my best to keep him in line, but i cant make any promises! :] go on and party it up and meet back up with larry, i know he had to of missed you alot and you missed him the same. all the suffering and heartache is over and now you have nothing left to do but sit back and relax. enjoy the view from up there, i heard it was pretty!!!

HAHAHA Super awesome daughter is great ! it's so true too. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this time. The loss of a parent is never easy but something about being a daughter and having your mommy pass away is harder I think. Your mom was always super nice to me and I wish contact would of been kept between our parents, but in the end take comfort in knowing that she touched so many lives and had such wonderful daughter to give her what she deserved in the end. Know she is resting in peace and you have another angel on your side.......
