Mommy...mommy ...mommy. If I can become one fourth of the women you are I will have accomplished something major. Your fearlessness, your faith and your drive are all things that I admire about you and have always tried to emulate. We are more than just mother and daughter; more than friends; more than sisters- there truly is no word to describe how close we are! Thank you for always believing in me and being suportive always!!! There isn't enough space to thank you enough for all you have done for me, so i'll simply say, I love you and thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for making this wedding possible :)

Dad...You are truly one of a kind. I can honestly say that I have learned a lot form you. thank you for all of the memories... wonderful memories over the years. Your humor has taught me how to see the silver lining in any situation and your fighting spirit that has been hereditarily passed on to me, is what makes me know without a shadow of a doubt that I will be just fine in life! I love you now and always...

Although the Lord has called you home I still feel your presence. I feel so blessed to have had you around. In a time where having one male figure in the home was considered rare, I was blessed with two! You were like a second dad...I know your smiling down on me from heaven :)

There's nobody like pop pop!!!! You have an entire file of everthing I have ever done in a drawer in your office; you have never missed a single thing I have ever been apart of; you are always there to offer your support and love no matter what; I know that I can always...always...always count on you...I love you Pop pop :)

The Lord called you home quite some time ago and yet I feel your presence strongest of all! It was a blessing to know you even for a short time. Your style; your grace; your elegance; your love for the Lord... all things I am blessed to have witnessed being done correctly!...I know your shining down on me from heaven :)

Mama, what can I really say that would show my appreciation for you?! Thank you for all of the sacrifices you have made for me over and over again. Thank you for always seeing the brightside of the darkest days...Thank you for supporting me always...I'm proud to call you mama!

Harry, Thank you for sharing your experience with me so freely. I have so much respect for you and how consistant you always are. I have always admired the man you are, and hope to be half of that one day!

Who knew that when you were teaching me to fish, that would come in handy when I met my future father-in-law! I wouldn't be me without you. Because of you I know how to have a good time no matter what the circumstances; how to speak up and not take no for an answer... and for that I just have to say, "thank you!"

I loved it so much at your house that I didn't want to leave and no one made me. I have so muany wonderful memories growing up because of you. I appreciate all of the important life lessons you taught me; thank you for loving me and supporting me, but most of all thank you for always being there! You are so appreciated!!

You passed away before I met my wife- to be- and honestly, I feel like you were up there helping to lead me in the right direction. I am so thankful that I had you in my life; I learned so much from you. At first it was kind of bitter sweet thinking of such a big day with you not being there, but, I know you'll be there...
