one year...

I would just like to tell Tim and Maria and their sweet family how blessed I am for being able to be a part of their lives this past year.
I hardly knew Tim and Maria, but I loved Tori like a daughter!!!
This past year had been such a learning experience for so many of us. I know that the girls at the Dance Club will never be the same. They look at life different now as do I.

Tori has brought so many of us together. Because of her I have made some wonderful friends especially Tim and Maria. I also got to know Guy and Sophie and Tim's parents. What amazing people you all are! It has been so awesome to see your love and support for Tori and her family! I love you guys!

I have thought so much about this day coming and remembering the events last year at this time..The emotional rollercoaster we all were on. I see how the Schmanski's life has changed dramatically and I watch them in awe! But most of all I miss Tori! I just plain miss her! I hope it is okay to say that!

I love the Schmanski's so much. I don't know what else to say...
Give Tori a hug for me, I have a bad cold and I don't want to give it to her.
Happy Father's Day Tim! You are the definition of the word father!
Love, Mare
