Boobie,

To my sister-in-law. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you are going to miss your dad-but just know that he is at peace now and out of pain. The LORD has called him home but allowed him to be around to walk you down the aisle-some never get that chance. There are no words that one can speak to ease "your" pain-so just know that you are LOVED not only by my brother, but by us as well.

If you need ME, call ME!

Love, Melaney, Leeroy, Marty & Jermeisha
