If we could visit Heaven, even for a day, maybe for a moment, the pain would go away. We’d put our arms around you, and whisper words so true, that living life without you is the hardest thing to do. No matter how we’d spend our days, no matter what we do, no morning dawns or evening falls, when we don’t think of you
Loved and missed beyond measure Your girls, Sharon & Sandy
