Lynne and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know your family in Texas is thinking of you.

Those we love are never really lost to us, we feel them in so many special ways, through friends they always cared about and dreams they left behind, in beauty that they added to our days... in words of wisdom we still carry with us and memories that never will be gone...
Those we love are never really lost to us for everywhere their special love lives on.

Love always,

Dear Keith,
I prayed for you, because that's
the only way I could help. The
question of why this all happened,
I do not understand. I do know
that you are at peace in heaven,
with your dad,relatives & friends
that have gone before you. You will
also meet those you did'nt know
here, but will soon come to know.
You will always have a place in my
heart. I love you for all that you
are now and always.
Love, Mom Shiban
P.S. Thanks again for doing the
chicken dance with me.
