DEAR FRIEND OF MINE I AM SORRY THAT I NEVER HAD A VHANCE TO SAY GOOD-BYE,
AND NOW ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS WHY DID YOU HAVE TOO DIE?
THIS SCENE KEEPS PLAYING ROUND OVER IN MY HEAD, AND ALL THAT I CAN THINK ABOUT ARE THOSE LAST FEW WORDS YOU SAID. I SWORE I WOULDNT CRY, WOULDNT SHOW A SIGN THAT I WAS WEAK, SO WHY WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR I CAN SEE SIGNS OF DEFEAT? DO YOU KNOW WHAT I KEEP THINKING? BEFORE YOU PASSED WHAT WERE YOUR LAST THOUGHTS?
DID YOU GO RIGHT TO...

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

I am saddened and in shock over the passing of Gail. I knew Gail from Beck Urban Academy, a school I worked at years ago. I had not seen Gail for several years, and recently ran into her downtown. It was such a pleasure talking with her, and I was so impressed with how Gail was striving to do and be all she could be. Her smile was radiant! May God continue to strengthen, love, and heal the family during this time of bereavment. Heaven has recieved another angel!
