Sherrie,Ethan and family (esp. Linds and Dan)
Tom and I would express to you our thoughts and prayers. We know what it is to loose someone so young and very special from your life. Just remember they are not far from you but always in your heart and at that very moment you think it can not get any worse there will be something that you will see,hear,and you know they are right there beside you. Just look to the sky and you will see your Twinkling Star as I see mine.
Thoughts always,
Paula and Tom Noto
