Missy,

I am sorry for the loss of your mom and now your dad. I meant to acknowledge your mom in September and I am sorry I did not. I was surprised to now see that your dad has passed. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I hope all is well with you.

Sincerely,
Debbie Cross

Tom,
You will forever be in our heart, you and Sandi were the most special friends anyone could ever have. There are two beautiful angels up in heaven now to watch over us. Until we meet again my dear friends, rest in paradise. We love you so much.
