I miss you more and more as time goes by. You had our little sister, Iris Berkesch, join you and the family this past July, and know it was a joyous reunion once again in the big laughing, happy Landry Family. Pray for Gary as he still wages his 18 year battle with cancer. May all of your light shine down upon us left behind. Eternal love to our family in Heaven. Madeline Denson

I miss you today as much as the day you left us to begin your new life, and will miss you forever. What a beautiful Christmas Day you had this year when Morris left us to join you, as you waited for him for almost six years. We will miss him also as he was our brother. May you both shine in the beautiful light of God forever and pray for us left behind. Your sister, Madeline Denson
