Although you've been gone a year, still miss you! Seems like just yesterday you were here with us.

You were able to overcome life's adversities time after time. You defeated what many thought to be impossible odds, yet your zest for life was bigger than life itself. As an adult you battled a seizure disorder. We had you for 21 years and during that time you earned your wings. In God's Plan He has a full time job where you were the only qualified applicant and you would receive heavenly benefits.
