    " I am unable to come up with words to describe this painful loss. I will never love like I still love you each and everyday. I know that you are my angel and will give me strength to raise our two beatiful boys. I feel you with us and it brings me comfort. We miss you, your wit and swagger. I promise that Keagen and Cameron will not only know the best of you but that you will live on through them. I am so proud to always be Mrs.Daniel Blake Dawes, I love you. "
