Kelli & Meg,

Grief can be so hard. As the hours turn into days and the days turn into weeks, as they pass and you return to life's routine, know that in your heart you will always hold all of those special moments and joyful memories you have shared through the years. You now have one very special guardian angel watching over you and he will always be there to guide you. Your friends and family will gather around you as you celebrate Troy's life and we are there to support you through this difficult time. God is with you, and he will guide you, have faith and stay strong. Love and Blessings
