You came to us, a gift from God so that we would come to know the power of unconditional love. Our time with you here was way too short. We had only begun to grasp His message through you. The many lives you have touched will forever be remembered. God has a plan for all of us and he needed you now. Our beautiful son, we will be reunited soon in eternal happiness. The sun is out, the birds are singing, a reminder you are smiling down on us forever. A memorial service will be held 11:00 am Friday, April 8, 2011 at First Presbyterian Church, 709 S.
