Dear Brian and Meg and family,

It´s been five years since your dad´s passing and almost one year since mom has passed. I know how much you miss both of them but knowing they are together again brings comfort to you during this anniversary of your dads passing. May God give you serenity that they are together again along with their loved ones who have been called home to truly feel the sublime love of Our Father in Heaven.
They will always be watching over you and their presence will always be felt. May you have peace today embracing their unending love for you.

Dear Marianne and family,

I´m thinking of you today. It is now four years since Tootie passed and I know it hasn´t been easy. Its like a scab that forms on an open wound, dries up and falls off and it´s barely noticeable. So, it becomes a little "easier" because "time" does help to heal all wounds. You don´t forget, you never forget, because you loved him, but you come to accept God´s plan for Tootie and you have found serenity in it all. Tootie will always be missed and will never be forgotten. You´ll always feel his presence in your quiet time. That´s what gets you through. It´s a gift from God. Embrace it.

Dear Marianne and family,

It’s three years since Adam “Tootie” has passed and it’s hard to believe that “time” passes so quickly. But, “time” can be a friend when your hearts are broken because as they say, “it heals all wounds”. A scar forms on our hearts that helps us to cry less as we embrace all the beautiful memories of our loved ones. And then comes a sweet smile that somehow comes from nowhere. I believe you know that Adam is with you and always will be until you meet again. That’s what gets you through. You just know.

Sincerely with ❤,
Rich and Sue Walkiewicz
