May your family find comfort in knowing that you are with the love of your life. May you rest in peace without pain or conflict. The last year of your life was not as you would have wanted it to be. Now is the begining of a new one now that you are home.

If tears could build a stairway, and memory's a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. I will always remember our rides to Boston daily, and all your suprise visits at our home. I will treasure my elephant you personally gave to me forever. R.I.P.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
i will love you forever daddy rest in peace love your little girl cookie and the whole family! we love you
