Deepest Sympathy

I miss you so much, baby! You left me way to soon. We had so many great times together, I wish there could have been many many more. I know you are in heaven, and I know we will someday be together again one day.

I love how much you and Al loved and accepted each other. It was amazing! I could tell the first time I met him how much he loved you.

You have been an amazing pillar of strength the past week. I can't imagine how hard it's been.

Just remember Al will ALWAYS be with you!
I love you Auntie Mel, Terri
