Merry Christmas Son,

No words come to my mind as I sit here trying to write to you tonight, only tears to my eyes and pain to my heart.  The simplest truth is I just miss you Cary.  What I would give to feel your hug, hear your voice and see your face.  We completed some things that I hope make you happy.  Chan, Preston and Caleb all have cameras like yours that we bought them with some of your savings as a final gift from you. I know they will think of you every time they take a picture.  We donated some of your memorial money to start a scholarship in your name at Iowa Lakes for Lake Life youth, gave some to your Estherville church youth group to support the mission trips you loved and have purchased a new projector and drum guard for the Estherville church worship team.  I think you would have liked all these ideas and are looking down and smiling that your gift can be carried on with others.  Christmas is not the same without you Cary—your presence is so missed.  You are so loved beyond measure by us all.  I luv and miss u!

Mom
