Happy 40th Birthday! Thinking of you and celebrating you! Your legacy will always live on! Holding my babies close today as I know how precious time is and how quickly it passes! Love you, time won´t ever change that!

Where has the time gone?! You are remembered and loved always! I have stopped asking why. No answer will bring you back and reasoning will not bring comfort. But you will live on through stories, pictures and memories. Hunter has asked about you and I tell him stories. He is very curious. Sadie is still too young, but in time she will also know you through me. You will live on. Love you always

How has it been 15 years? My heart has a place that will forever be broken! I find comfort believing that you have orchestrated the happiness in my life and have been by my side all along. Seconds turned to months and months to years but I can still hear your laugh, see your smile and the subtle blue lining in your eyes. You are so missed and loved! I know you´re always watching and I know someday I will see you again. Keeping watching over us! Love on little for me!
Love,

My handsome Boy...
You have stayed strong with my spirit and I am blessed that you still reach to me by divine appointments.
Your New Nephew Remy was given your Name as part of a pac of wolves who has been temporarily separated from the PAC.
I will enjoy looking/holding this child as spoken.
The LOVE of a Mom is eternal.
Give My Danielson the Hug that grows with strength as you both have purpose.
Truly and always

I will think of your family often Andrew. Suffering is so unfairly dealt in this life. I feel unscathed. If there was a way to give your parents a break, I'm not sure that I could take it on. Your mom looked at all of the friends that showed up today and said with her eyes that there were no words for how she felt, I never saw a more brave woman.
July 13, 2014
In these terrible, sad times, I smile thinking of Nana, Granddad, you and Daniel all being together. I love you.

It's still so hard. Your Mom is such a strong women. She is always making sure that you are part of any family event that occurs. Your sister honors you as well, as does your little brother. On this day I want you to know that I stand beside your Mom/family and to honor you. As I have always said from the day I had the opportunity to know you, I will always be there for your Mom. And I have never broken my promise. Love forever.
