Aunt Rosemary and family, I love you all so dearly and consider myself quite honored and blessed to call you my family. My little family and I have so loved and enjoyed sharing our lives with you and Uncle Lamond. We will sorely miss his sweet smile, hugs & kisses and kind, loving comments and gestures that he was always making. He always seemed to have a kind word and a compliment to share. I will always remember how he loved the children and how they loved to play with him as well.
Thank you for sharing with me about his brothers and sister coming to take him home. That really helps to warm my heart and know that he is in good hands having a wonderful reunion with his family and freinds who have been on the other side waiting for him to return home.
I love you dearly and keep you in my thoughts and prayers always.
Love, Cheryl Kay
