I pray,

I pray that I will one day find peace in knowing you are together in a wonderful place.
I pray that you felt no pain.
I pray that you can still look down on us and see us from time to time.
I pray for Justin and that he one day finds peace and is granted forgiveness.
I pray Christina and I will still live a happy life while remembering you every step of the way.
I pray Aydan does not have sadness in his life because he know longer has you in his life but that he never forgets the years he had with you and what amazing grandparents you were.
I pray your siblings and your Fathers, our grandfathers remain very close to Christina and I and continue to share more stories about your youth. Boy, Did Grandpa share a funny one of you Mom over Memorial day! I am sure there are plenty more.
I pray your close friends never forget your loving, kind, smiling faces and that they will keep in touch with Christina and I. I know you would want nothing more than for us to continue the friendships.
I pray The Close family continues to be by our sides and helps continue family traditions and making memories with Christina and I.
I pray I can one day help someone that goes through the loss of a loved one or a tragedy.
I pray I can one day spread awareness on Mental Illness to prevent something so unthinkable from every happening again.
I pray my friends remain my close friends until the very end. I look at the amount of friends you had in your life at the age of 50 so I know this is possible.
I pray Ted and I can be loving, supportive, fun, adventurous, family-oriented parents like you were.
I pray you knew how much you were loved so deeply by so many.
I pray you know how missed you are every single day.
I pray that through this tragedy and the special gifts you have left many of us, that it changes people and makes them live their life a little better, a little nicer, and brings them a little closer to their family.
I pray my jealousy of people who have parents will stop. Because I did have amazing parents that many people in this World would only dream of having.

I pray, my beloved Mommy and Dad that you will one day greet me with open arms. I cannot wait to see you again. Until then, I hope Heaven is everything we believe, hope, and wish that it is....

Melissa,
We will always love, cherish, support and comfort you and Christina. We are blessed to have you in our lives. I pray we all will see your Mom and Dad and they will already know the way around heaven so we will not waste any time having fun when we get there.
But, until then we have a lot of living and fun to experience so we can let them know that we have carried on the tradition of knowing how to love, cherish and support each other on earth and have fun while doing so.
love,
Mom Close
