Message to my baby girl: You were taken away much too soon, I miss your smile and your voice every day. I hope you know that you were my heart and soul, a gift so precious I never wanted to let go. Where ever you are I know you are finding the best fishing holes and show all the guys there how we girls catch the best fish. Till I see you again take care of our little Butch and the rest of the family that was there to welcome you, Love you forever MOM
So sorry for your loss Paul, Suzanne and family. PeeWee and Rose
