Kimberly and Trish,
Uncle Bri and I never stopped loving your dad. The memories we all shared were some of the funniest and happy in our lives. Although we are apart our thoughts are never far away. When you least expect it, you'll think of him and know he's watching over the both of you. Love to both Auntie Di XO
