You had a kind heart and you loved very deeply. I always admired that about you. I am going to miss your sense of humor and just being silly with you all the time. I always wished we could talk again 20 years from now and laugh about all the stupid things that we did once upon a time, but unfortunately I will never get that opportunity. And for that my heart breaks. I am broken. I feel this world would be better with you in it, but I do thank God that we have a beautiful piece of the best qualities of you still here on this Earth- your son Dyson. What an incredible suprise and blessing!!!! I pray nothing but goodness comes his way. I will keep him and your family in my prayers. May you rest in peace and know that you are deeply missed. BTF.
We are so sorry for your loss.. Sending Prayers Debbie and Greg Schlotman
