 ***************************************************
one entire year has gone by and i have loved, lived and learned more than i ever thought i could.

i miss you mom. every day. i would give anything for five more minutes but i am so thankful for the time we had together.

thank you to everyone who said a kind word, gave a few moments of time in prayer, picked up the phone or gave us a hug over the past year. i may not remember every single one of them but i promise you the compassion and the love outpoured will never be forgotten.

  1. You are an amazing person and friend. The past year has shown how incredibly strong you are and I know your mom is prouder of you now than ever (if that's even possible)! I, too, thank God every day for allowing our friendship to pick back up where it left off. Love you!

  4. Skye, you are just like your mother in so many ways. I know she is looking down on you and is so proud of the woman you have become! You are a wonderful friend, daughter, wife, sister and so much more! I cherish our friendship and it brings me so much joy to know that you will be a forever friend! I truly love you!

  6. I am thouroughly amazed by you each day. Your perseverance your desire for living and adventure. At the same time, i am never shocked by these things for they are there very reason i showed Sabrina a ring and the same excuse i used to by your father dinner. you are so very strong and I pray you see your mother every time you try something new or feel you have to clean today cuz the world may end if you dont or in the times of excitement. may God continue to grant you happiness and friendships! love you TOPH
