Happy Birthday Dallas. You were always such a wonderful, kind and caring friend and I miss you very much. I am glad that your suffering is over, and we will meet again someday.

To Sherry, Shane and all the Family:
It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

With love and sympathy,

Hey mom, I really miss you.I'm thinking about you all the time. I cherish all the crazy times we had together whether good or bad. Matter of fact me and Sherry have been catching up on alot of things. I know that even though we hadnt seen eachother in awhile, I know that you are here with me because I do feel you. And thanks mom because I will forever need you to keep guiding me like you did all this time. Thank you for being such a loving kind friend to me and thank you for being a mom. Now I know tomorrow is your birthday and I wish you lots of good times with the angels. I feel theres no other place Id rather you be because you too were an angel to so many. I love you mom and know that I will never forget about you. Lots of hugs and kisses. ~Kristy(your daughter from another mother)

Hi mom!I miss you so much! Everyday I wake up to realize that you're really not here anymore...again.I'm really sad,but I've been being strong so others don't see how lonely I am without you.I don't think I'll ever be the same.I feel like an outsider in my own environment.I feel like... I don't know,kinda like a part of me is missing.
