Each year at this time I searched for just the right card to send for Wyvonna's Birthday. We wanted her to know how very special she was to us and how very much we loved her. I will always remember her in a special way and thank God for her friendship on her birthday each year. Love to you all!

Thank you for being a friend! I will cherish the memories of our summer walks on the farm, the visits that usually included a warm piece of pie, and the long phone conversations that always left me feeling loved and refreshed! My love and prayers to the family. Your absence will leave a huge void in my life.
