A last candle Rae for the myriad of special memories, too many to begin to speak of individually and some too hard because it's still unreal that you're not here with us. You are with God in happiness beyond anything we can imagine, that's our comfort. The same God will watch over all those you left behind so your rest will truly be in peace knowing their future is bright and so very blessed. Love you.

My heart is heavy for I will miss my dear ,sweet other mother. My partner in smoking,drinking coffee and just good 'ol conversations. I was really looking forward to kidnapping you and finding some treasures here in Vermont together. I know God isn't suppose to make mistakes, but I think he took you too soon.
I will never be able to thank you enough for the beautiful gift you have given me in your daughter Elizabeth & your grandson Lawrence. I love them both dearly. I will continue...
