"I've always been told you won't be called home until it's your time. I guess Heaven was needing a hero. Somebody just like you. Brave enough to stand up for what you believe & follow it through. When I try to make it make sense in my mind, the only conclusion I come to, is that Heaven was needing a Hero like you." You will always be in our hearts & never forgotten. To the family, my heartfelt condolences on your tragic loss.
