Her soul will continue to shine upon us. We will remember her smile, her kindness and willingness to help others, even as she progressed through her journey with ALS. We took a drive in the car on Easter Sunday and she tossed out plastic eggs filled with chocolate into the yards where we saw children. She was always trying to do something to make others happy. The power and emotional stature she displayed during her battle was simply amazing, just an incredible human being. I will miss you dearly my love, until we meet again, xoxo.

didn't know you but I prayed for you every night. I hope those prayers made your journey easier. We have a mutual friend in John who at one time was a partner in crime for many years. I am sure he is hurting deeply now and I will pray he receives blessings from above for all the help he provided to you in your life.
