7 Years have passed since you left. I have kept a safe, loving place for you in my heart since then. Life just isn't the same without you in it. I can only hope that we will see each other again in a better place. God Bless and Keep You.

Deeply saddened. Have lost a neighbor from my childhood; a supporter when my father past and an ever available champion to my Mom. The Washington Family sends their condolences in prayer.
