They say memories are golden, well, maybe that is true.

We never wanted memories, we only wanted you.

He lives in the hearts he left behind.

We miss you every day.

Love, — Char and family

A million times we cried….

If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a place, no one else could fill.

We do kitchen remodels

If tears could build a stairway and Heartache makes a lane, We’d walk the path to Heaven and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same.

But as God calls us back one by one, The chain will link again.

With love from your family, — Dad, Mom, Julie, Jay, Josie, Randy, Kendall, Taylor and Derek
