We will miss receiving your cards with your special touch of addressing by name the loved it was especially for, that was love . We will miss our phone calls, and few and far between visits, but knew we always had each other in our hearts and on our minds. I see you now busy filling the bird feeders, walking the dogs, dancing, and going to the movies all with our Lord. Until we meet again….we send our love to you. Barbara Fellows
