Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you, because I loved you so...
It has been one year since you went to Heaven and became our angel. We know that you’re with us through Skieler’s smiles and words, photographs where we see angels, dragonflies that fly around us, lady bugs in unusual places and the ways you help us through the most difficult times in the most amazing ways. We are blessed to have you as our “special angel.”
Love your daughter, Skieler, mom and dad, Nanny and Pa, your loving family, Matthew, Vicki and all of your friends.
Rest in Peace, Baby.
