We will miss you very much! You have been in my families life before I was born and you been in my daughter, Alexxis' life since the day she has been born and not one time have I taken for granted the things that you have done for her. Alexxis will always remember the good times that you and her had together. Now that you are gone, there is an empty space. But your memories will remain in our hearts forever.



We miss you and love you very much.
