Wayne,Pat, Sheresa, Amy, and Blayne, Letting go of someone you love so dearly is never easy. However, I know you all are comforted by the fact that she is now happily reunited up in Heaven with her husband and free from any pain. I know you are going to miss her more than words could ever say, but I also know you have tons of wonderful memories that will forever stay alive in your hearts. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and if you need anything, please give me a call. Love, Laura
