The bond that you and I had was unique, irreplaceable, and not comparable by any others. We shared a childhood an adult companionship,and a very loving relationship with our families. I will miss you, but we will meet again. Rest in peace and may God bless your soul.

Vickie and family, I am so sorry to hear of your dear mother passing away. I had always heard so many fine things about her. I lost my mom 1-1/2 year ago and it is a hard thing to do but, for me, I know she is not suffering. Please accept my sincere sympathy for you at this very sad time. Love, Jane and Terry Smith
