A thousand times we needed you, a thousand times we cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. A heart of gold stopped beating, two twinkling eyes closed to rest. God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best, never a day goes by that you're not in my heart and my soul. Miss you.

Gisela: You were my sister-in-law for a few years but I never forgot you. You were a good person and unforgetable. I'm sorry I didn't try harder to find you. I feel like I lost a friend even though we hadn't talked in years. I know you will be missed greatly. Brenda
