SMOKER, SHARON Sandra and I write this today to honor you and all the blessings you brought to our lives. We speak of you often, missing you on special occasions, especially Halloween and Christmas, two of your favorites. We laugh about trips we took and special times we shared. As we look back on the happy memories of our adventures and fun, we realize how blessed we were all those years to be a part of each others lives, in good times and bad. As Sandra and I remember you on this day, sometimes the loss hurts just as much as the day you left us, but we take comfort knowing that you are no longer in pain, and wait for the amazing time that awaits us when we meet again. We love you Shar, San and Ana
