I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. ( Leo Buscaglia)
Our thought and prayers are with the entire family!

Remembering Wendy...My partner and I have such fond and vivid memories of our times together. I remember Wendy's infectious laugh. She and Maureen sat on our balcony the first night of their visit...stayed up all night long talking and laughing. Picture included here depicts Wendy to a T (taken May 2003. She was a great woman and very loving. Our deepest sympathy to her husband Scott and family.

Matt, Pat and family:
I know that your mom is in heaven! Praise the Lord! How comforting this must be. She is dancing and singing at the top of her lungs!
It is so hard for those of us left on earth to carry on. You are here to tell her story. To be her voice. To make sure that her song never ends.
I realize this seems almost impossible today. Please, let us help you. Take each step slowly. Lean on those that truly care.... I love you guys so much and I thank your mom and dad for being such great parents, molding you into the men you are today.
