Time has a way of slipping by, day after busy day. A lifetime is over before we know it. However the precious memories, joys and sorrows we lived through will stay with us forever.
You will be missed.

We were neighbors all my young life. I took care of your dog Sarge. You were always so happy and full of jokes. I will miss seeing you around town in your one-of-a-kind red and white truck. Now you'll have all the wolf whistles, uh-gaa horns and auto accessories you want.
Take care and say "HI" to my Dad, Freddie and my sister, Margaret for me.
Blessings and Prayers to all who loved you and may their fond memories bring them comfort.
