Dear Children,
This was the hardest few days of our lives, and with every ones' cooperation and support we all pulled together as a family to do what we could for Cynthia and the children.
We will all remember Le Grande for the rest of our lives and what he ment to each and every one of us. The void he left will never be filled!
But we must overcome our grief, bounce back, and find ways that we can help Cynthia and the children in the future, thereby showing Le Grande how much we love and miss him, and that he will never be forgotten by any one of us, and that we will all meet him again in heaven!
With all our love,
Mom and Dad (mama and papa)

A Message From Heaven
(To my brothers and sisters)Perhaps you aren't ready yet
to have to say good bye...
Perhaps you've thought of things
you wish you said -- well, so have I.
For one thing, I'd have told you
not to worry about me...
I'm with the Lord in heaven now--
you knew that's where I'd be.
I'm sorry that you're feeling sad,
for I'm so happy now.
I've asked the Lord to ease the hurt
and comfort you some how.
It's hard at the beginning
but I know you'll make it through...
I hope it helps to know
that I'll be waiting here for you.
I love you,
Le Grande <><
