I miss you very much. You were always such a fine and dignified lady and the best Mother-In-Law anyone could ever ask for. I miss your dear, sweet "Danny Ray" every day and our daughters have grieved so much for your wonderful son. I know your heart was broken when he passed away just the same as ours. But I will always be grateful to you, his beloved mother, for raising such a fine son. He was the light and love of my life and he was so very proud of Sherri and Barbara. I love you. I miss you. Sylvia
