Terra, Freddie and Daniel, The hardest thing for a Mom to do, is leave her children. You stepped up and showed your Mom that she didn't have to worry about you anymore. You pulled together when it mattered the most and walked with your Mom on the last steps of her journey. Know that she loved you with a Mother's love, and there is nothing stronger. And when she saw before her a beautiful, kind and loving woman, and two strong compassionate men, she knew she had done her best work. She was leaving a legacy to be proud of,...and it was time for her to go home. Love, Aunt Kathy

Jan, I've learned so much from you over the years. Your fierce love for friends and family. Your quiet dignity and acceptance of God's plan for you. You are my sister and my friend in all the ways that matter... I love you.

To my Aunt,
I am missing you so much and I am so greatful for all the time we had together over the past 7 months. I have much peace with the thoughts that nothing was left unsaid between us. As it is so hard to except that you are no longer here, I am very thankful for your kids, my cousins. It helps so much to have them here, and we are really leaning on each other like I know you wanted. I promise I will always be here for them. You are such a wonderful person, and so important in my life that I am having a hard time with out being able to see, hug and kiss you. I still tell you everyday how much I love you, and I know you hear me and are telling me "I love you more." I am happy that your pain is gone. RIP, Aunt Jan. Never ever goodbye, just see you later.
Terra, Freddy and Daniel,
I love the 3 of you more like my brothers and Sister than cousins. We make a great team, and I know that your Mom was so proud of how we leaned on each other, and I will always be here for all of you. You 3 are such a big part of my life and nothing will ever change that. Thanks so much for keeping me close during this difficult time. I love how we can for hours laugh and share our favorite storys growing up. We always have our memories, and each other. Love you all.
Grandma, Dad, Linda, Peggy, Terry, and Rick, I love you all and I am so sorry that you have to bury another baby Sister. I dont know why things happened this way, and why this kind of heartbreak keeps coiming our way, but I have to believe its part of a greater plan. We are a stong family that I am proud to be a part of, and we will pull together and get through this. I love you all so much.
