To my Dad, I love and miss you so much. It really never did get easier with time. Everyone said it would, but they lied. The pain will forever be part of all of us. We just learned to cope with it as a normal part of life. You left us too soon. You didn't get the chance to watch us grow into adults with spouses and babies. There are a lot of grand babies now. We tell them lots of stories. I wish you were here to meet them. They love you and mom so much, without even meeting you. You will forever be missed.
With love always and forever
(Your baby girl)

It's a Boyyyyy! & It's a Girllll!
I am having a little boy. & Nicole is having a little girl. So there is a new grand daughter and grandson for you guys and great ones for nanny! We all miss you guys very much. There is never a day I don't think of you guys. How I wish you were here to celebrate our babys and watch miss Sophia grow up to be a very big girl. Shes almost fully potty trained and let me tell you that girl is no joke all mollenkopf and bridges. She tells you exactly how she feels at the age of 2 and loves everyone so much! Shes so cuddley but if you make her mad she will tell you your not her friend and be really mad at you! I love her though theres nothing I wouldn't do for that little girl she is my world. And trust me she knows exactly who you guys are! I love you 3! Thinking of you always xoxo<3

Stopping to say you guys have been on my mind alot. Dont know how to handle it. Its been 6 years and man it still never feels ok. I say i cry bc i miss you, yes i do miss you but morely i cry bc i dont know hwat its like to have parents. thats what hurts the most. knowing that in 4 months ill be going to prom and in 5 ill be walking across stage and i dont have you standing there to watch me. i have to just hope and pray your watching over me smiling down proud. everyday i live for you to prove how strong i am nomatter what happens. but deep inside it kills me everyday. i barley remember a thing about my own parents! how could that be? it sucks so much. i just want you guys back. nanny in a month it will mark when you became so sick. id do anything to sit by your side again. to hold your hand and tell you that your going home and everything will be ok. everyday i wish i could have taken your place this family needs you more than ever your who held us together. i was hoping to give you my flower on my grad day but now ill give it to sophia and put it on your guyses grave. your always in my heart and i think of you every single day! ill always love you guys forever in my heart rest in paridise<3

Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

She's never pulled anyone from a burning building
She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans, screaming out her name
She's never hit a shot to win the game
She's never left her footprints on the moon
She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride, around the world,
No, she's just your everyday average girl (but)
She's somebody's hero
A hero to her baby with a skinned up knee
A little kiss is all she needs
The keeper of the cheerios
The voice that brings Snow White to life
Bedtime stories every night
And that smile lets her know
She's somebody's hero

I love you mommy! RIP!
