So sorry for your loss
Happy First Birthday in Heaven….
I hear some songs sometimes and they remind me of you. I quite literally fell to my knees when I heard you passed. Your services at St. Michael’s were my favorite from my childhood. I had always wished you could have done one more. I will always remember you, and though I don’t have faith anymore (and found answers for my comfort), I still believe you lead on, elsewhere, beyond this realm that you deserved better from. Because we got everything from you. One of those classic ones, forever forward. I miss you.
