Your pure joy shines on loudly as a legacy I will always cherish. I hear it in the smile and laughter of your kind and beautiful boy who is now my husband. I feel it in the sunshine that radiates and warms my soul. I taste it in every bite of fresh fruit salad we make in your honor for each holiday meal. Your generous life imprinted me with a new definition of how I live my life and care for my friends and family. I will be forever grateful. May your memory be a blessing.
