She thought that was a hoot and I've remembered that all of these years. I, too, have lost my son and wish I had wonderful words to say to you that would make your loss easier to bear, but I know of none. I just pray that family, friends and warm memories will sustain you and that our good and loving God will wrap his arms around each of you and provide you the strength to get through the tomorrows.I always just loved her and I know her loss will be felt by so many, because her free spirit just grabbed ya. Who know's, maybe she's eating "poop" soup with Shirley, Ardon and Jim. Keeping you in thought and prayer. God's Blessings, Cheryl K.

With Sincere Sympathy...Luray Nicole (Hannon) Clark n.clark@hotmail.com You were such a huge part of my life while we were growing up, you helped make me into the person I am today. You will never be forgotten. Your memory will always live on through the stories we share with friends and the tales of our craziness that I'll tell to my daughter one day.
