Thinking of you all during this very difficult time. Sending love and prayers. Renee one memory in particular when your mom and dad "busted us" we were in high school, sneaking back in your window. Of course we thought we got away with sneaking out until as we were climbing in your window we knocked your "hermit crab" cage over. It made a loud Boom!!! Your bedroom light came on, your mom and dad starring at us we were in a knot on your floor and crabs roaming all over your bedroom. Needless to say they were not happy with us. I will miss him, love you all!
