You were a true friend. How much a small silent creature can still remind us, in the way you are still here, that life is so precious but yet so short. That we must put our priorities in order and take time to smell the roses. You are beyond that sun that brightened the day that warmed the window that set a sparkle in your eyes, in that small corner of the room you unselfishly conquered as your own. Let that sun, through those beautiful eyes, be the light that shines down upon us for the rest of our lives. Your faithfullness is the food for my sould that has made me the human I have become. We have been blessed with the unconditional love you never failed to offer. You will always be in our hearts and in our minds. Madeline Rivera October 8,2003
