You guys took me in when I needed it the most, and also made things hard for you to decide what you wanted to think about me. But I was always grateful for what you gave me. And all your sons were always close to my heart. And always will be. We have been through our ups and downs through the years, but now I send my thoughts and prayers to all of you!! I have not been able to be around like I have wanted to be because of where life has brought me. but, I have never forgotten where I have been. You, and David alike are in my prayers and will never be forgotten!!
