Joe- When you lose someone very precious, no one else can really know all that you feel. Please know that our thoughts & prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. I will always remember fondly of Vickie and you, Aunt Betty & Uncle Bob, and Peaches when you visited with us in Colorado. I know how much she missed her mother and father but now, she is with them in heaven.
