I drove past the house the other day and again remembered you and Pete and the many times we spent together. I hope I thanked you for your help the morning my dad died and you so quickly helped me out by watching my kids. We are going to go possibly get a couple of cats today and so of course you were on my mind again. Rest in peace, I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

We mourn the passing of my mother but the pain will pass with time. The memories of her will live forever. She is out of pain now and that is a blessing. My mother had her sense of humor until the end and that is a comforting thought.

Vera,

I often think of all the times we went to the show, store or just sat together and talked. You, as well as Thor, were true friends to me. God has welcomed you home, you have been missed and will continue to be missed.
