Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Adam, so sorry for your loss. We are in Fla. for the winter, sorry that we will be missing her Memorial Service. When we was kids, she was like a sister to me. She was four days older than me. I never let her forget that, teased her all of the time about being my older cousin. We have another Angel that has earned her wings.
Sincerely, Sharon & Joe
Dear Adam & Family,

Sending you big hugs.
