Our precious parents -- so full of life and love. Throughout your lives, there have been
many trials and tribulations. Throughout each of these, you gained strength and, in turn,
gave us each some strength. You taught us what kindness is and how to act toward our
neighbor. You taught us how valuable God is in our lives and that our spirit is important.
You were "the wind beneath our wings," our foundation and strength.
Mom and Dad -- you have left so much of yourselves behind. You have been an incredible
part of our lives, and we thank God for your time on Earth. You went home together as was your wish.
