experiences, including serving in Panama. After leaving

Research Foundation International (JDRF). "I miss you so 
much, and pray that God will infuse me with a small 
amount of the strength you lived with everyday to help 
me deal with the devastating pain of your loss. You will 
forever live in my heart and I love you beyond words. 
Rest in peace my love." - Baby
