To the Family;
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived, and may the scriptural thought at Psalms 34:18 be of comfort to you. It says that God is near to those that are broken at heart And those who are crushed in spirit he saves. My sincere condolences go out to the family.

Dawn. We haven't seen you since we moved to Florida, but we did think of you, Josh and the kids often. We cherish the time that we did spend together with you when we were living in Freehold and we regret that we won't be able to do this again, here on earth.
We do pray that God will see to it that your children are provided for and cared for in this sorrowful period of time.
God bless you and may He shower Josh,Connor and Kirsten with His love and fill them with understanding and comfort.
Love,
Dolores and Stephen Hills

""To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Rest in peace and we will meet again. Miss you and thanks for sharing your life with us...
