Heartbreaking, you were loved we were too young. I will never forget you.
Gone too soon, deepest sympathy to your family and your children your legacy. Now two people recognized you, me being one of them. Rest in peace my dear. Your children will carry your legacy of your incredible accomplishments in life.
