Dearest Angie and Lexie,
There are no words, there are simply no words to express my heart. Years ago, when you were about 3, you got into something that you weren't suppose to, and I turned around and said "Angela Marie-what am I gonna do with you?? You stood there, thought for a minute, looked up at me and said "Just love me, hug me and cuddle me-I guess." So today, know that in my heart, I am loving you, hugging you, and cuddling you. I am so sorry sweetheart, for your loss, and I love you so deeply and dearly. Auntie Jo
