Haven't been here in a while, but I haven't forgotten you. You will never be forgotten by the Blue Family. I wanted to leave this quote from an unknown author.

"Grief never ends, but it changes.
It's a passage, not a place to stay.
Grief is not a sign of weakness,
Nor lack of faith......
It is the price of Love.

I know your loved ones remember you every day and you are a true hero and will never be forgotten.
