The pain of your passing still stings. I have a hard time just looking across the street. But , I smile when your beautiful bushes bloom each spring- they are so beautiful and fabulous! It reminds me of how amazing you are and that you live today and always in my heart and with God.

From the moment I met her right after the Hilltop Catholic merger, I remember her smiling--always smiling, just as in this beautiful photo of her! May God comfort and strengthen all who mourn the passing of His faithful and kind child!

I am heartbroken that we have lost you but heaven he and my family. I have known you my entire life (since in my mother's womb). I have enjoyed every time we got to spend time together around your dining room table sipping on those delicious wines and eating good food. We have had so many great times together. I will miss your las gained an angel. You were an amazing friend to maugh and how you always made me feel welcomed. This last time I saw you we took this picture. That was a beautiful day. We laughed and celebrated being a family. You are my family. You and Chester are amazing, loving people and it has been a blessing having both of you in my life. I will miss you. Rest well in paradise.
