I was looking at a picture of you the other day and I smiled because I remembered your warmth and love for humanity. At this time you would be gearing up to bless so many in need with a turkey for Thanksgiving.
You will forever be cherished.

Mere words can not express the loss of your presence in my life and the lives of my siblings. You have taught me so much that I couldn't begin to explain to anyone. With your teachings and love installed in me, I hope to carry on and stay as productive as you would want me to and be a positive role model for years to come.
