Mom, during life you had a spirit that filled the room. You raised Gregg and me to be strong, fearless men and you loved us with all that you were made of. You were a teacher and taught your whole life, but in the end, you taught us how to view all people with innocence and how to love the Lord despite pain and unfair circumstances. You taught us that death is a mere hurdle to a life eternal. I love you and miss you.

From preschool to mid 3rd grade, Leslie and I played together every single day. She was my bestie. Although we had lost touch recently, I have thought of her, her spirit and her beautiful red hair often over the years. I can't believe she's gone, but know she's in God's loving arms. Rest In Peace and love, dear friend.
