A poem written by the family:
Despite our ups and downs and family strife we were all blessed to have you in our lives. A phone call here, a warm hug there no other relationship could truly compare. With or without, your love was strong nobody could replace our special bond. New starts begin for you and me but no matter what we are family. We love you.
