How can it be you have been gone six years and yet it feels like yesterday in my heart? I miss you! I miss being able to catch up like no times has gone by. I call your mom, so we can talk and hang on to you in our special way. Every time I see a butterfly, I know you are fluttering around us...especially Luke, Jesse and your mom. You are our angel! xoxo

I hear your voice with every wisp of the wind. I feel your touch when I have reached complete hopelessness. I fight the urge to feel that you are gone from this Earth forever for I know you are with me, always. Lately I haven't been able to remind myself of how privileged I am to have gained just the smallest lick of knowledge to help me through my darkest days. The thought of your smile and love for people never leave my mind. I live my life through your spirit and the lessons you blessed me with as a mother. I love you. Until we meet again.

Where did my butterfly go ..... I'm so lost without you . I miss you so much . I'm trying so hard to keep moving forward with Christmas your favorite day of the year approaching fast . It will be so hard this year and every year without you . Watch over all of us and know that you are loved and missed .

Mr Fogg, Mrs Fogg, Luke and Jesse, I read the obituaries everyday but have not for the past couple of weeks. Picked up the paper tonight and my heart broke. Cindy & I go way back, 30 plus years. We shared
so many wonderful times together. Trips to the beach, going on a cruise, way too many to mention. I'm so very sorry that we all get caught up in our own lives and lose track of those who shared the most precious times with us. Cindy & I shared so much together. It's obvious how much she is loved.
I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

Luke, Jesse, Helen, Luddy, Pete and Dave,
I grieve along with you. After seeing Cindy Friday, I was utterly convinced she would be going home on Monday. How quickly things can change when you are dealing with this horrid disease. I told Cindy several times that God was using her during her battle with Cancer. Throughout her journey, she inspired so many others battling this disease. She gave them reason to hope with her courage, strength and determination and she handled herself with such dignity and grace. What a legacy. I am so proud to call her my cousin. I miss her now, and will miss her until we meet again. Love to you all...
