On this 1 year anniversary of when you left this world. Our hearts still bleed with your families pain. We pray daily for the strength of each and everyone of your family members and co-workers. Know that not only are we here as a chapter, but also as family that has experienced the same feelings. We are forever family that we never wanted to be apart of, but we are glad we have each other through this horrific road we must travel.
