To My Dearest Chris: Sun.13 Apr.08
(And Family):
I MISS YOU SO. I still think about the wonderful times we had working on cars (you calling to use some of my Snap-On tools!) You really did get pretty good at it on your own. I also remember when you first started doing Tat's!! How your mom freaked out.I thought that was the GREATEST, (You doing Tat's, of corse because of my Tat's) I just tried to help you become the best you could & learn more from my Tat people. You really did have the art down so well. You picked it up so fast & Well with so little help.I always wanted you to do a Tat on me, sadly we just never got around to that. I was so proud & still am PROUD OF YOU. I know your one of my stars, with all my others I look at every night. When I can. (because of clouds.) I feel in my heart your so happy now and helping us still here, as our ANGEL ALL AROUND US ALL. Well as I say, NOT GOOD BYE BUT "SO LONG FOR NOW TIL WE MEET AGAIN." I know we will.
Ye Elska Da~ I Love You,
