I'm so sorry for your loss. But I want to thank all of you, Missy, Billy, Suzanne, and the rest of the family for allowing me to take care of Mary and be her rock the last months of her life. It wasn't always easy, but I wouldn't trade it for anything, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Not only Mary, but you all as well became my family, Mary like a grandma, Missy and Billy are my second parents! You all have touched not only my life, but Dales and Tylers as well. I'm really gonna miss her. I love you all so much! "Mary, we had a lot of fun and been through a lot, and I'm thankful for every moment. We did a good job of holding each other up! I sure am gonna miss you. I still have your baby Cricket, she's doing great! She plays all the time and she sleeps next to me every night. I will take good care of her, I promise. Be at peace, your with the Lord and he is holding you in the palm of his hand. Forever and Always I love you!"
