The love of a family is life's greatest blessing” My heart goes out to all of you. Stay strong, she would want you to be strong! Josie Strobel Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death. To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die. -Thomas Campbell -unknownDelray Beach, FL 07/05/2012 2:40 PM
