To the family of Olivia,

I would just like to say that I am so very sorry about the loss of your loved one. I know she was one wonderful woman.

I was around her quite a few times with the family and once on vacation and I remember her being such a kind person and she had such class about her. Just know that she is watching over your family now. She is your angel.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at now and always.

Mom, Its been 2 weeks since we laid you to rest. I don't know when this pain will stop. I miss you so much. I am trying to be strong for my wife and kids but its been hard. I love you so much and hope you are enjoying being in heaven with all the other angels. I'm sure you are catching up with Eric, grandma, grandpa and my uncle Ray. I ask you to watch over me and my family and Lisa and her family. Every time I want to break down I think about the strength that you showed for the last few years fighting through the various sicknesses. You will be an inspiration for me to continue to fight through the tough times. I just want to say thank you for everything and thank you for always being there for me and making me the person I am.
