It seems hard to believe that a year has already passed since you went home. A day has not and will not go by that I dont think of you. I thank you again for the gift of your spirit a year ago. It has given me such comfort to know I will see you again and I will expect to see you to help me across when it is my time to join you in heaven. Love you always. Donna
