To all: "They say when you are gone it is not what you have said or done, it is how you made them feel. It is my wish you all know how much I love you. When you think of me and smiles come across your face, feel the warmth and love I have felt from you! So, here is to my family who have become friends, and to my friends who have become family: God bless all and that you do. Wherever you go, keep me in your heart and know that I will be going with you. May the angels guard and keep you safe."
