To my Brother:

Words are hard to describe feelings,
I have always been better with images.
Yet writing down how much I miss you,
Seems to give me some tranquility.

You showed me a lot of things,
I learned a lot I didn't know,
But you forgot to teach me one last thing How to let you go,
I know you didn't mean to leave us,
Sometimes we have no choice,
I miss being your little sister,
Hearing my name called by your voice

Writing to let go, to give this all a place.
Feels like it will never heal, it will never go away, learning to give it time and space.

I can tell you how much I care, how much I loved you. How much I miss you... How much I would give to have you back in my life, But you know all of this and it won't change anything, that's what I am learning with time,

Writing to tell you how sorry I am that you were in so much pain, Writing to tell you thank you and I'll be okay. I miss you big brother and always will.

Writing to tell you I love you and I know your in a better place watching over me and one day will be together again until then big brother enjoy your new home with no pain or sin give our heavenly family hugs for me until we meet again.

With love always and forever your little sister Kim

Cindy, my heartfelt condolences go out to you and Bill's family. I didn't get to know him but just the fact that you married him tells me that he had to be a fantastic person. If there is anything that we can do please let us know. Love you, Debbie, Katie and Justin Hicks

Baby..
Thank you, for loving me and showing me what love is. Thank you, for laughing with me, holding me when the days were tough, thank you for teaching me, for protecting me, mostly from myself, thank you for letting me love you. Thank you for all the roses, all the smiles, all the hugs. But mostly, thank you for my children, Staci, my son Adam, and my babies, Caleb, Aspen, and Summer. I'll be OK babe. Goldie and Kosmo are still waiting for you...I'll miss your hugs, your smile and your beautiful blue eyes. Give my mother a kiss, a hug, and tell her I'll be ok. Forever yours,Cindy
