My dear friend, you will be missed. I’m glad to have met you and shared some great times together. You will always be present on our hearts and minds. Rest in peace brother!
So sorry for your loss. Was he at your wedding? I think I met some of your brothers. I was so glad to see your Dad and know he had been up sitting in a chair and eating. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
