Please know that we will be okay here, knowing that you are there with Mom, Dad and the kids. It is truly a loss to not have you with us, but your spirit lives on within everyone's heart you ever touched. I love you and miss you with everything I am. I will share our stories and tell of our laughs. Thank you for everything you helped me to be, and everything I strive to become. Love you always Bel-fet-sy!!!!
