Memere,
I will never forget the day I met you. Dean introduced us and you hugged me, kissed both cheeks, and said "love ya". Dean told me later that you had meant it too, that you loved everyone. It didn't take long to realize how true it was. You always made me feel warm and welcome, like one of the family and I've come to love you like my own grandmother. Blessed are those who have known you. Thank you for touching my life. I hope we will meet again someday.
Love Ya!

Memere.....
You never realize the impact that one can have on your life, until it's to late. As I sit back in disbelief just looking through some photo's remembering the memories we all shared. I know you will be watching over all of us making sure we are all doing well. Pepere really needs you right now, I have never seen him so sad and lost. Please keep an eye over him and we will all help out as well. Forever in our hearts and prayers.
Love
Meshell, Rick,
Aaron, Jordan
