You are the reason I am here today. My life has been, and will forever be lived to the fullest because of you. God has given all of us a mission, and I am so grateful for the mission He chose for you. I will live on, because of you. Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought of you. I am now a teacher in special education, and have been able to help so many because you saved me. What a wonderful person you were, and continue to be by your guidance. You will always be thought of and missed.
