In Loving Memory of Mom, It is impossible to put into words how much you and Dad are missed. It has been one year without you here with us and every day is a struggle. We have encountered our first year of not having you with us, on anniversaries being remembered, birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and weddings being celebrated. Along with Destiny Marie getting her first tooth, Athena, Anthony, Chris, Josh, Zachary, Noah and Jackie, starting a new year of school. You and Dad always loved to hear the stories of their first day, how I remember. I miss you and Dad being together just a short drive away or a few buttons on the phone. You and Dad both are the breeze that moves our hair and the snowflakes that gracefully glisten from the heavens and ever so gently lands upon our checks. When you and Dad entered a room, you added such beauty and a smile that could light the world. Mom, your skin was as soft and fragrant as a perfect red rose. Forever would not have been long enough with you and Dad, but Mike and I know you are at peace and watching over us. Nobody knew all your secrets, Mom and Dad, like I did. The stories I could tell, the truth will all come out in time. No one is as ever close as a mother and daughter. All our love forever, Mom and Dad, your daughter, Joyce; and son-in-law, Mike; the Chapmans
