Gayle, there will be a tremendous void in my life now. I know that you are with Mom and Daddy and all of our loved ones that passed away before you. I was so proud of you, you were so positive and fought right to the end. What keeps me going is that you are in Heaven now with Jesus, there is no pain or CANCER in Heaven Baby. You will be in my Heart forever. Little Corey asks about you all of the time, I told him you will always be in his heart, and when he starts missing you, to just hold his heart and you will be there! I LOVE YOU.
Your Sister Margaret
