Michael and Family, I just heard about your Mom. I have so many fond memories of your Mom, I wish I could have made it to the wake at least. I am so sorry for your loss. I hadn't seen her in a couple of years, since I moved away. She had a big heart and she will be missed. I will treasure the memories she left behind.

WHAT CANCER CAN NOT DO:

invade the soul, suppress memories, kill friendship, destroy peace, conquer the spirit, shatter hope, cripple love, corrode faith,
steal eternal life, silence courage.

Pat,

So glad I got to meet you. You were full of life, fun and vibrancy. I'm sure you will give the other angles a run for their money! By the way, let them win a hand of cards from time to time, while sharing your sour patch kids with them. You centainly had a full deck of life's love, while you were here on earth from everone's life you touched. You will be surely missed.

Please tell Madeline for me, we are watching over Donna for her.

Donna's friend, Louann Sampson
