Condolence From: Your Big Sister Collette
Little I knew that morning, God was going to call your name, in life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to loose you, you did not go alone, for a part of me went with you, the day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. Little I knew that morning, God was going to call your name, in life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, for part of me went with you, the day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side.
Missing you each and every day,
Love your big sister Collette xo

Dear Andrew and Family, You must be going through a lot right now, ad I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you, and send my sympathy. I hold you in the highest regard, and I know you have a great family who will all be there for each other in your time of need. All my best. – Jodi
Condolence From: Christine Schade
I wish there could be something I could do to make you hurt a little less. When Dad died, there were so many people and so many meaningless things said. When Leon came to visitation, he gave me a hug and simply said I’m so sorry…it was perfect- it was comforting and caring. I never had the chance to thank Leon for letting me part of your family. I want you all to know that I was very fortunate I got to know all of you. It brings back some great times… I’m so sorry. Christine
