Legacy Liberty Unites visitor

Sookie,
Suddenly the regular phone calls and e-mail messages stopped� I guess you gave me 3 weeks to get used to the idea of not ever hearing from you again before revealing the truth. What an honourable man you are� Thankyou for trying to protect my heart � but nothing would ever have prepared me for this news.

You will live in my heart forever. Rest in Peace bubbie. Mady

Dear Marcelo,

You are the world to me. I miss your smile, the laughs we had, the simple things and the beautiful years we had together. When you died Marcelo, a part of me died too. I miss you so much. You will never be forgotten. You will always live in my heart, my love. - Your Ivanka (Australia)
