We just celebrated Neil's 2nd birthday. Last year you got to sing happy birthday to him in the hospital. You always said you wanted to be alive to see all your great children, well you did that and they love you so much. We just had our vacation and remembered when my mom and aunt Kathy walked you up to the ocean so you could feel the waves splash on your legs. 4th of July wasn't the same without you. We still made your special cake and sang to you. Ally cried. You are forever in thoughts and our hearts. Tommy calls you his guardian angel :-)

Someone asked me about you yesterday and I began to cry. My life just won't be the same without you. Tommy and Meghan miss you just as much. We can't stop talking about our GG! I tell them you are their guardian angel now. We can't stop looking at pictures of you either... Boy oh boy you were at every event! You are forever in my heart...I love and miss you so much. xoxoxo
