Dear Hook Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. When I was walking with Buddy and it was close to August 18th, or was August 18th Bonnie would yell at me and say Happy Birthday Cathy and I would tell her Happy Birthday and be sure to tell Connie Happy Birthday for me. Just the little things that you remember and you do have to laugh. Memories are forever and no one can take them away.
Thoughts and Prayers,
