Losing you has been one of the hardest things I’ve endured. You’re not supposed to have favorites but I was closer with you than the rest of the family. I really wish you could have met rowen. You would always call me to check in and make sure everyone was okay. You would even call me randomly to tell me you would be coming to visit. I miss those calls. You always made sure to say “tell your mom to lock them dogs up, you know I don’t (bad work) with dogs”🤦🏼‍♀️😂 I really miss the energy you brought to the family. You had a spark that lit up a room and put a smile on everyone’s face. You’ve always been protective of us kids like we were your own. All of us, didn’t matter who we belong to you treated us all equally and made us all feel loved. I guess you could say you’re more of a Fatherly figure to myself and my brothers, then our own “father”. I really hope you’re at peace and to someday be able to see you again. Until then - Marie.

Words can't express the emptiness in my heart ♥️. You were the light in my darkness when I needed to see. Your laughter and generosity were known by so many, but only a few people knew the real you. I'm so grateful you chose me to be one of them. The love you had for your little princess was so amazing to witness. I know you'll be watching over her with a big smile. I'll miss being your passenger princess on our many roads trips and crazy adventures. You made me feel so young and carefree and I was able to be myself. I love you always and forever.
