Dear Mylene;

...21 "Memorial Days" earlier we saw each in person and ate supper together in Riverside, California...
...In less than 101 calendar days later you were killed in a tragic work related auto accident...
...Yet 21 "Memorial Days" later there's NOT a day that goes by without thinking about beautiful you...

Still Miss You And Love You So Much;
