I did not know you long and I wish we would have had more time together. I will truly miss our conversations. I will miss learning more from you and your knowledge of flowers and plants. Thank you for allowing me into your life and letting me help you and your family in anyway I could. You have a beautiful family. It was an honor to walk through your journey with you and your family. To the friends and family that I was able to meet. You all are in my prayers. My deepest condolences to you. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this journey with you.
