Dad, I can't believe your gone.I always thought I would be prepared to let you go. But I know you will be at peace with Mom. Let the gentle breeze carry you like the wings of the Angel. Let the rains that fall be the tears that help me to wash away my pain. I will always remember to focus on the good times we shared. I am grateful for all the times you were there for me and my family. With you I bury a piece of my heart. Love, your baby girl, Tracy XOXO

Uncle Alphonse ,

I will always remember all the good times we had as our families got together. I hope you and Aunty Aileen are at peace and are together with mom and dad having a game of horseshoes and Johnny making a BBQ. I love you and will miss you.

Love always Cathy Dumelie (Mellesmoen ) & Family xox
