For Ladell:And so my noble friend, we've come to the end of a journey, yet the beginning of others. You are no longer a traveler of this earth but have found your way home. Home, what wonderfully exquisite thoughts that word evokes. And yet, I believe we haven't the capacity to fully embrace and understand the meaning of home. To be absent from this body is to be present with our Lord. How awesome! I thank God for the privilege of knowing you and the privilege to call you friend. You are a gardener. You have planted many seeds in my life and the lives of others that are now blooming with the memories of your essence, full of color, fragrance, radiance and grace. These tears are in your honor little pilgrim, little gardener. Rest now, for your battle is over and you have fought a good fight. So it is with broken heart I say goodbye, until we meet again my friend and we will, we most certainly will. I will never forget you!!!
For Dale, Heather, and Todd: Can a heart break? Can a soul ache? Yes my dear ones, they can. And I am right there with you always!!! I love you guys!!!!!!
