A friend is to cherish
A friend is forever
A friend outlives our lives
A friend makes us better
A friend is the one that makes us see
What it is that we can truly be
A friend is the one that is by our side
Whether we may be wrong or right
A friend is someone who'll always be true
I say that friend was you
Rest in Peace, Friend...............

Todd,
You are one of the greatest friends we have ever had. You have always had a special place in my heart. I love the big brother you were to me and I miss you so much. From the first time I ever met you I knew we would always be best of friends. You are truly a very kind person and wasn't with us long enough. I often think of you. I remember the first time I met you and you were cutting down my trees, which was something you did very well, I knew then that we would always be very close friends. I miss you and I love you.

Daddy- Annmarie and I will miss you more than I think you ever knew. And now you had a beautiful granddaughter that loved you as well. It overjoyed me to see how you reacted with her and I love you even more for that. There are so many things that I could say or have said before but I suppose I am as stubborn as you were. I love you dearly and promise to take good care of Ann. Thanks to everyone else who has been supportive of our family. Love Always, your Sara Bell
