I have loved you since the day your family was so gracious in taking me in at the lowest point in my life many years ago and loved me back to health. You will always bring a smile to my face whenever I think of you. You will be greatly missed as you are greatly loved. I so wish I could be there but I’m in a hospital bed. You would see the irony, your memory will always live in my heart ❤️
