It's still hard to believe you are gone. I think of you everyday and wonder what life would be like had you not gone. I know you are in heaven looking down on us and you are always in my heart. I know if I need you, you are not far. Until the day we meet again, remember I will always love you with all my heart. Yvette, Steve, Ted, Tonya, and Gino Duran
