Diana

Thank you all very much for remembering my daughter. I miss her every single day. I tell my little students lots of stories about her and that helps me keep her ever so much with me. We have very different traditions now for the holidays. Thanksgiving we ate at a restaurant. My wonderful husband, Alan, and I are going away again this year for the Dec. holidays-this time to Cancun and Belize. Poppy is going to be with my brothers, Rick and Dave, in Denver. Missing my mom and Devon is a part of the "new normal" I guess. Sometimes I feel them both with me, encouraging me to be strong and get on with my life. Devon would want all of us to enjoy life to the fullest and treat each other as we would want to be treated. That was her philosophy of life. She expected people to be good to her and they usually were. She loved her friends. I thank you all for being there for her through the good times and the difficult ones. You were all so wonderful when the times got rough. She was so lucky to have such devoted friends.

Hope the holidays are great and you find peace, hope and love.
