The kids and I have worked so hard in mourning your loss and learning how to continue living without you. It hasn’t always been easy but I know you watch over all of us and are proud of how we’ve all done.
I am so grateful for all of the love and support that has surrounded us and truly feel blessed for those people who came into our lives after the tragedy of losing you.
I know you know but I will always remember you and love you.
