It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. A part of us went with you, the
day God took you home. If tears could build a stairway and heartaches make a lane,
we’d walk our way to heaven and bring you back again. In life we loved you dearly, in
death we love you still, in our hearts you hold a place, no one could ever fill. We will love you always and forever. Mom, Dad, and Julia
