Your legacy will continue on. Through the adventures, memories, and stories, your children & grandchildren will keep growing through your everlasting guidance. With a certain smell, sight, or sound your "light" will continue always. My deepest condolences go to you and your family in this hardest of times. I was once told that this is but an epic event of a bridge crossing. On one side you have the survived family with tears and mourning of a loved who has left them. On the other side, are loved ones that have made the journey. They await you with opened arms. They have no pain, no anger, no remorse but still have any and all love that will be given to their newest flock member. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE OUR HEARTS!
