"To my second family, your mom had a story to tell. You allowed her to tell it and continue you to tell it through each and everything you do the rest of your lives. Nothing made her happier these final days then to see her three childeren working together to provide her a peace of mind. Remember, when you are sad, she is there. When you are in love, she is there. Must of all, she is there just when you think no one else is. I LOVE YOU ALL"

"Sam, John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: You believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house there are many Mansions: If it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. Lina is in this place and safe forever. Her heart has taken her there, be thankful that she will see her loved ones again. Love Rick and Donna "
