A special memory I have of Devan was about 10 years ago we were in Elba. It was pouring rain and me and him decided to just go walking. In the middle of a flood. The town had a square and we walked all around it a couple of time. A cop stopped to ask us if we needed help and we told him know we were just enjoying walking in the rain and talking. He laughed at us and Devan said "you may want to try it sometimes it cleans your soul." And honestly it did. We laughed we cried and we just walked without talking. He always reminded me about that when I would get upset. He would say just go back to Elba and walk in the rain. I have been doing that in my mind alot this past week. I hope he knows how much I loved him and our time together. Til we meet again.....
From the time I found out I was pregnant with you, I loved you. You will forever be mine and we will meet again, my love. I will carry you in my heart until that day. My baby.... I'm gonna miss your sweet face so much.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
