It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate their life,

A day to love and care for them, but to forget them will take an entire life.



I felt and feel very close to him, as though I have a special link.

He had a strong effect on me, more then most would think.

I feel he is here right now, I hope that you do too.

He's your special angel from above, and he's going to watch over you.



Take the extra time to spend with those that you love, for he is with us every day, watching from above.



Always remember to forget the things that made you sad, but never forget to remember the things that made you glad.



He touched our lives deeply.

We love you all, and are always here for you.



Love, Nicole and Dave Sheputis
