As the days pass, I still cannot accept that you are gone in the physical sense. This holiday season is tinged with sadness for me but also gratitude at all of wonderful memories that we shared as a family. I know we will be together again and until that day, you are in my heart always.

Your sister,

Lee

I can barely believe that I am writing in this Guest Book. It was only a few weeks ago that we were having my Birthday Breakfast with you and your new Kids. You left us way too early and too suddenly. Though we had a preview of your passing when you had your first Stroke 10 years ago. You came back from that one as we thought you might from this one. But then we didn't know that you had an upcoming mission to raise yet 4 more children... and you did that beautifully as you did everything else... with grace a beauty.
We all miss you terribly...
