Merry Christmas, Danny.

Chief Seattle said, " There is no death, only a change of worlds."

You have always held a special place in my heart. Rest in peace, Danny and I pray that the day I get to where you are, your smiling face will be one of the first I will see.

My prayers are with Tammy and all of his family. Hold on to those precious memories. May God bless and give comfort to each of you.

Tammy and Family my heart is with you and I pray that God will wrap you in His loving arms and comfort you all.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

The thoughtful and beautiful art you and Danny created with the wampum shells Penny and I collected at the Outer Banks brings us happy memories of you both. We will miss Danny, but know he is wrapped in the love of God and all those who knew him.

Tammy, please know that you and your family are in our thoughts, our hearts, and our prayers. Prayerfully, in the weeks ahead the hole in your heart will fill with cherished memories and even laughter.

Love,
Rick and...

Tammy & the Jefferson/Holmes Families,

A Native American Prayer:

I give you this one thought to keep,
I am with you still I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the sweet uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Tammy,
I will always hold a very special place in my heart for you and Danny. Watching your relationship was truely a lesson in love. I can only imagine how your heart is breaking but remember he is waiting for you in heaven. May God bless you and keep you.
