A Vibrant Light has passed through my life that shall always shine bright, on loving memories. To accept the thoughts of losing such a "Passionately Wonderful Spirit" is with deepest sorrow and despair. Forever, shall I keep the memories of our companionship as a highlight in my heart?

TO: Chris, Allen, Beth, Gango, Nicole & Maya....

May the spirit of God Keep You In This Time Of Sorrow, and know that "To Be Absent From The Body – Is To Be Present With The Lord"
