Our friends Virginia and Larry, and Mr. Smokey, come into our lives down in Port Aransas, Texas while camping. What a Wonderful surprise to learned we all lived in Michigan. We spent many great days together throughout the years enjoying each others company; Crying with them when Mr. Smokey crossed the Rainbow Bridge and celebrating when Mr. Blue came into their lives. I often told them both that God sent them, since it was only a few months prior to our meeting that I lost my identical twin sister, Therese. Now my good friend left us only 6 weeks after I lost my brother Johnny.
We know that the four of them have found each other and are having the same Great Visits that we shared. We will see you soon. We love you Virginia. Thank you for your friendship.

My mother was everything to me. Being the first born child, I was definitely overprotected from everything that might prove to even be slightly risky. Even as I grew up, playing sports, every time I got knocked down, my mother had to force herself to stay in the stands or on the sidelines, to not come out and pick me up and "rescue" me. Where my father taught me how to be a man and the responsibilities that come with it, my mother taught me how to be a gentleman; How to treat people with respect and how to be sensitive to the needs and concerns of others. Her brave struggle against an illness which in most cases, causes people to survive no more than two years, unfazed her and she battled her illness for over four years. Her battle inspired me to realize that even the so called experts don't know everything and can't measure strength and will of the human spirit. I love you Mom. The lessons you taught me will serve me well throughout the remainder of my life. I hope the celebration of your life on Friday and Saturday will live up to your final wishes you left us.
