My Dearest Aunt,
Your courage is an example of what I want to be. All through the battle you never gave in, you stood strong in the Lord and now you can rejoice forever with Uncle Rick and Kristina. You will be greatly missed here but one day I look forward to joining you and the rest of my family in Heaven above. I love you very much and grateful for the times we had. Love always, Bob
