My deepest sympathies, Craig. Can’t imagine what your loss feels like. - Valerie VanDyke Phillips
About your Ardy:
November 1959 - April 2023
It isn’t the date on either end that counts,
But how she used her dash.
For that dash between the dates
Represents all the time she spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved her know
What that little line is worth.
