Weezie,
It's just not going to be right not haveing you around to talk to.
I've learned so much just listening to you talk about all the family. I know that you are having a good time with them, you and Diane always said that you had more family there than you had here. Weezie, I am going to miss you so much.You know you was the family matriach.I am going to miss all that good food you used to cook, there are so many thing's that I am going to miss; too many thing's to list. So Weezie, rejoice with the family.
I LOVE YOU WEEZIE.
