I worked with your daughter at Wheeler. She always had a beautiful smile and she and her smile will be missed.

May God be with you and your family during this time.

Jack and Family-

Jack - I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. Even though I did not know her I just wanted you to know she looked like a beautiful young woman. She had your smile, Jack.

Hold the memories of your daughter close to your heart, for these will carry you through the days and years to come, until you meet again.

Again I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter- if you need anything Jack let me know. It seems like it was just yesterday my brother was taken away from me even though it has been six years. My mom and dad are still grieving, however, we realize through our faith he is with us every day.

I am thinking of you and your family Jack.
