It's been a year since you've passed and it's still hard to believe. I miss you so much! A lot has happened in the year and I still reach for the phone to call you, talk to you, or just "breathe on the phone." You're wings were ready but my heart was not. I love you and miss you everyday!!

You chased Dad from 1960's and caught him in the 1980's. After he passed, you continued to chase him and I know you have have caught him in Heaven. I will see you both on the other side. I love and miss you both so much. Rest in Peace.
