In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
I will miss seeing you every morning and through the day. Lots of good
Memories and laughs shared.
On another note the time you followed me to drop my car off at Whylers and you were supposed to wait on me to give me a ride back and you left me there not knowing you were supposed to wait. I was so mad I had to walk and when you found out I was walking you drove all over looking for me. I still get a good laugh out of that one. Always in my heart. A great friend to all of us
