To Mary Beth,As children we played together more as cousin and friend than Uncle and Niece. I have fond memories of those times. We grew up and moved apart. I can only remember seeing you a few times after we were adults. A few years ago you went out of your way and looked me up in New Mexico. I thank you for that visit. It gave me a chance to see what a loving and wonderful person you had become. It was also my first chance to meet Cody.I am thankful that I got a chance to spend a couple of day with you and Cody towards the end of your journey here on this Earth. I thank you for the hug. I will always remember you and the strength that you had as you fought this last battle. May God bless and be with you as you take this next journey.With all my Love, Alan W Bird Posted by Alan Bird @ 06/19/2002 12:08 AM MST If you would like to offer your condolences fill in the form below.
