Jan & Mark,
A lot of years have past but I still have wonderful memories of West Side Academy and spending time at your home in Port Allen. Your mom always treated me like one of her own and I know you will miss her dearly. My condolences to you and your families. May your most precious memories become more vivid with each passing day.

Mom,
The hardest letter I have ever written. The best times I ever knew, were the times when I could come to you and you were just "my mom." I am grateful for the last Friday night of your life. You shared wonderful things about Dad, Sheila, and Mark. I am thankful I held your hand and told you that I loved you, and a better place awaited you. You told me you were tired of holding on. May Maw Maw, Paw Paw and all six of you siblings await you with open arms. I have peace in my heart and soul, for the love that we have. I will never forget you. I love you Mom. Jan Marie

Jan,
It has been so long since I've seen you, Mr. Al, Ms. Joy and Mark, but I will always remember the times in our childhood growing up in a small town and building that everlasting friendship...even if across the miles.
My heart aches for you because I know what you are going through. There is never enough time here on earth with the ones we love, but we do have eternity to look forward to.
Find peace in knowing you all have a special angel watching over you...until you meet again.
Please email if you have time, I would love to hear from you.
Please pass my sympathy on to the rest of the family.
