Hannah has Faith

1/7/06

Dear Lorie, the title is what gets me through this letter I write you. My heart is heavy. I first met you when you came to the Marketing department about six years ago. It did not take long for you to win my heart. At first I would tell Yonna "I wish she would keep her religious beliefs to herself and not push them off on me." I guess God sent you to give me a gentle nudge. Shortly after, I lost a dear family memeber and decided I was not living by Gods wishes. You reminded me that we are all God's children.
We shared a close bond. We both were blessed with two beautiful daughters. We both wanted children and It took us a long time to get them. We both had girls. I will miss all those stories about rotten they both are... Remember when I gave you Kenzie's toddler bed for Faith? I asked you later if she would sleep in it, and you said "No, but she will sit on it!" I told you not to fret over it, she will sleep in her bed when she is ready. I told you to cherish this time with her, let her sleep with you, she is only a baby once. When she is sixteen you will wish she still slept with you! :) Both Aurelio and Donnie love their daughters with all their heart. Boy, someday they will break their daddy's hearts won't they?
Aurelio is so blessed to have had you for his wife. Faith and Hannah had the best mommy in the world. I'll say it one last time, "Faithie is a bump on your butt girl, she is a spitting image of you!" I believe Hannah was a gift from God before he took you home. Your girls will make their daddy happy and proud. They will take good care of him. Your daughters will be close. They are your legacy.
I look forward to seeing your beautiful smile again my friend. Until then... I love you and I miss you.
Marti.
