My beloved son--How I wish I could tell you Happy Birthday.  I so clearly recall the day you were born.  It was Easter season and the weather was lovely.  You were this dear little bundle with definitely red hair.  You were an easy baby--no sleepless nights.  Little did we know then that your beautiful personality would touch so many lives all over the world.  You are surely not forgotten and your family and Ralph ache with missing you.  I remember so many excursions with you--your delightful smile and the way you said "Hey Mom"  There is an empty spot in many hearts--especially mine.  I was blessed to be your mother and I am looking forward to the time when I will join you, your dad and Joel in that Place where there is no pain and only love.   Mom

What WORDS can I say to you that even begin to tell you how much I and your siblings love you?  There is no 'ed' on that word.  We do and will always love you.  There are so many people expressing that love.  Did you EVER have any idea?  I believe God sent you here to show us what that word really means.  It is my great blessing to be your mother.

If there will be anything that I will need in Heaven, will you take me shopping?  No need for a wheelchair there!

Todd loved to party and have guest over at his and Ralph's beautiful home. Todd would never miss an opportunity to see his co-workers/friends.  He traveled from Palm Springs to Manhatten Beach to the  NWA LAX Retired Flight Attendant Party to wish us all the best even when he did not feel well. He loved to party and socialize. He always had such kind words for each of us. His stories and wit kept us laughing and smiling. Parties just won't be the same without you my dear friend.
