Selfishly my heart aches. Knowing that I wont be getting harassed during anymore Broncos games and that I will not be able to tease you about your Cowboys. That my only other SF Giants fan wont be around to be excited or frustrated during baseball season with me. I love that we bonded over our love of sports, animals, TURTLES, our families, and our crazy sarcasm. I have been blessed to have been given the years of friendship with you that I was. I am forever grateful for all the memories that I get to keep of your amazing kindness, happiness and compassion. I know the last few years had been less than perfect for you but you handled any and everything with such grace and I admire that in you. I know right now you have no pain and are with your mom watching over your dad and sisters and nieces and nephews and granny and all your family and friends who love you so much. Heaven gained an incredible angel. You will be missed and I pray that the aching hearts find some peace and that God eases that pain and allows healing to begin. Thank you for being you. Ive told you hundreds of times, I love you Mel (worm) and Ill tell you thousands more until I see you again. Love Always, Cresta (Turtle-Turtle)

May your family take this time to grieve. May they take this time to reflect the love they shared with you. You are a blessing to them. The Lord took you too soon. You lived through many tough times and happy moments. You will always be in our heart. We shall grieve you are not here on earth and our grieving will change through the year but you will never be forgotten. You will always be remembered with that beautiful smile.
