Dear sweet Mandy,
My heart breaks this day that you have gone on to meet Jesus. You left my heart with so many loving, smiling memories. I would look at you in Church and your smile made me forget how bad my days were. I feel in my heart that you and Dennis are sitting holding hands talking about how wonderful it is to be in Heaven. I promise to watch over your Mom and be there for your family when ever they need me. Hug Dennis for me and tell him how much I love him. All my Love Penny
