A year has alredy passed by and we miss you just as much now as the day we left you. The hurt is still within our heart but we know you're having such a wonderful time with all of our other loved ones up in Heaven. We all will meet again and until then we miss and love you so much.

The holidays came upon us and we missed our Mom so much. Thanksgiving and Christmas was a time that our family was always together. We missed her laughter as we would sat around and talk about what used to be and how things are today. She loved her family as much as we loved her. We will always cherish the fond memories she has left us with. Our hearts will always be sad for God took our special angel to her new home. We still love and miss her so much. Brenda Slankard
