Catbird and Julie,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time. I'll always remember her cutting up the dance floor at Julie's wedding, she had a lot of spunk. She'll be your guardian angel now and will be watching over you both. Keep those memories with her alive, she lived a blessed life.
Love Always,
Greg Pedone
