Family and friends thank you so much for your awesome outpouring of love and support during this time for us. Several years ago, I (Cheryl) wrote a prayer for my kids, and I prayed it every night.

“Heavenly Father, up above, please protect the ones I love. Guide and bless my daughter and sons so they may rise to a new day of fun. Grands and great grands, please keep them safe and for Dan and I, I pray please dear God, never let us stray and let us all be with you forever in eternity.”
