No words will ever be enough. My heart is broken. Pepper and Scott stepped up to the plate when I needed them most. As they were my loyal friend and helped me with my beautiful daughter Anna as I worked many hours. Pepper was my daughter’s second mother. I love you Pepper! You will be dearly missed. Now, I know you’ll hold my son tight as you did my sweet daughter so many years ago. Prayers go out to Scott and the girls as they learn to go on in this world without you. We will all be together again in eternal life.
