Your unending love for me will never be matched. Your love and nurturing Way with Brittany will guide her the rest of her life. The pride you took in your work and a job well done was unique to you alone. Your attention to detail was undeniably evident in your craftsmanship. The memories of our ski trips and walks/talks through the woods will always provide a smile and comfort for me. The neighborhood night games will not be the same without you. Your love and care for animals was unsurpassed. I will be watching the stars for you every night!
