Online Memorial

Vacation was great. We had a great time visiting with our friend Gary who we haven't seen in 30 years. We quickly caught up and it was like yesterday. He lives in a small town but they do have a McDonald 's and Burger King; the streets roll up at dark and there is not much to do. We met Nicole 's friend Sarah in Gladwin and saw her new son Emmett , and Nicole 's Godson JD. JD is almost 2 and has beautiful blonde hair. He is so handsome. I couldn't stop hugging and holding him. Next year we are going on a cruise to Alaska I have wanted to go to Alaska for so long. We are planning on flying to Oregon to see friends for a few days, drive to Washington see more friends then sail out of Seattle . That is our gift to us for our 25th wedding Anniversary. (If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home. I love and miss you my little girl more than words can say)
