I want to comfort you and dry your tears. I want to smile at your memories with you. I want to make you laugh with a memory of my own of the wonderful times I’ve had with Marie. You knew where you stood with Marie and I could always appreciate that. She was one in a million and I’m so grateful I got to know her through all of you. She was so proud of her kids, grandkids and great grandkids.
I always imagine my loved ones greeting each other in Heaven to ease my own suffering. May that vision bring you comfort. We have one more angel to watch over us.
Love to the entire Buehler/Tripp family.
