You helped me thru some of the toughest times in my life. Then as my kids got older you were giving them advice. I will always have peace of you when i look at the friendship tattoo we got together. I have stopped myself from calling you several times this weekend, that is just what I did when something happened. To know you are busy fishing with your dad makes me feel better. The sister I knew and the Aunt my kids knew will always be remembered. I love you Alexis and Allison. I know it isn't always going to feel fair that your mom is gone. We just have to remember the good times and know she loved both of you. My sympathy to Erin's Mother and family. I know we are all hurting.
