Honey, I can’t tell you how much I miss you. You are my rock, always there for me no matter what, always there to inspire me, always sharing your loving ways with our children, grandchildren,family and our many, many friends. You were always there for them too, always willing to help and any way you could. You made my life fun, you filled it with sunshine and dreams and laughter. You were an inspiration to all who knew you. You will always be in my heart and my thoughts. Rest in heaven my giant teddy bear. I’ll love you forever.
