The Dash...


Family is what life is all about. No one passes away wishing they would have worked more hours, or bought that expensive car, what matters most is the time spent with our loved ones and the memories left to cherish...


A few lines from the poem that was read at your funeral by your friend and neighbor, Jerry Mussio.


"For it matters not, how much we own; the cars...the house..the cash...

what matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash".


I am so thankful that material things never mattered to you. You were happiest when you were spending time with your family and friends or cruising half moon lake on a beautiful Summer day.

You truly spent your dash the way most people would envy.


I hope to live my life a little more like this:


"To consider what's true and real and always try to understand the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we've never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, and more often wear a smile...remembering that this special dash might only last a little while..."


Although I am truly hurt and saddened your dash was far too quick, be very proud of the way you lived your life and the impact you had of those you surrounded.
