View all 302 ReflectionsHi Daddy, we went to honor you at NMSP Memorial in Santa Fe on Tuesday. Louie and I took Momma. Not sure how many more she will be able to attend.
We were joined by Alice, Danielle, Desiree, Carolyn, Noodles, and Angolina.
It was such an emotional day. We were able to see the Garden dedicated to you. It was beautiful. I never knew it was there.
Mom will be staying with Alice and the family till this weekend. Hope she has a great time with Brother's family. I don't think she has been to Santa Fe since Brother passed away. I know it was hard for her.
Daddy, I miss you very much. I try very hard to remember. But I still only have 2 memories.
Love you, Cammy
