More than a week has passed and my heart is still heavy with sorrow. I know that it will get better in time, but I stil miss you. You are now at peace in heaven and we must learn to live with the memories. Holidays will not be the same without you. You must be singing with the Angels now. I LOVE AND MISS YOU.
