Tammie and Kara
Just know that I am thinking of you and share in your loss - but we all know your dad missed your mom so much and he is glad to be with her.

"Remember me, to the living I am gone.
To the sorrowful, I will never return,
To the angry, I was cheated
But to the happy, I am at peace.
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore, gazing at a beautiful sea-
As you look at a flower and admire its simplicity, Think of me.
Remember me in your hearts, your thoughts and your memories
Of the love we shared
The times we cried
The times we fought
The times we laughed
For, if you think of me, I will never have gone. Remember Me.
