Our family has been overwhelmed with love and support from family, friends, and the community during this difficult time. A special “Thank You” for all the prayers, food, and donations. They have all been a blessing. “ A Letter From Heaven” When tomorrow starts without me And I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today; While thinking of the many things We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me As much as I love you; And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too. When tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart. - Alena Hakala Meadows
