It is so very sad to have lost someone who brings smiles to the world. May he bring smiles in Heaven as he has on Earth. I know these words are late in coming but I felt in my heart I needed to speak in some way to the Family and Friends. We need more Good People to make us smile. He will be missed. I too lost my Dear Mother in a Car, Tractor/trailer accident. May GOD comfort you all through this time in your lives.
