"Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.”

You are greatly missed Bones and not a day goes by the family doesn't think about you. Rest In Peace <3
