Mama, Cindy, Kelly & Cathy,
Words can not say how very sorry we both were to hear of your loss. You are all blessed for having been touched by one of God's special angels. Cindy spoke of her dad very much and I know what a special person he was. I am sure that as he looks down on you all from heaven, he is smiling, and he is with all of you, all the time. God Bless you always.

I miss you!! Its been almost 3 weeks but it feels like you just left me yesterday. I cry for you everyday and hope that time will help me go forward. I come often to your grave and talk with you, it makes me feel close to you. I wish I could just hug you one more time. I love you so much, you were my best friend, there is such a huge void in my life without you. It helps to know you are watching over me. All my love, your baby daughter.
