Remember my son-in-law on this 10th anniversary of this wedding and death. Remembering the day he faced Jim Myers and I and asked for our permission to marry Bethany.

My dear Bethany,
This was shocking news as I knew you had just begun your new life together. Losing my son-in-law in March lets me know how difficult it is for you even though you know he is in heaven with no more pain. I will be thinking about you and the family as I pray you have the comforting feeling that the angels are taking care of him now. Love to you as you cherish those special moments and memories that will forever be in your heart.
