Sarge, it's been a week today since you were called home. You are being missed so terribly right now, by all your family that you have left behind here at home. Hershey doesn't even want to go down stairs at all with you not being there. You were not just a step dad, you are/were a part of this family and within our everyday normal routine. We are all just lost. But I know you needed where you are right now and you are truly enjoying every second. Pls tell Mom and Tori I love and miss them so so very much. I'm sure Tori will show you around just like she did here when we use to visit her at her house. She would say with such pride,'Come, let me show you MY room". Now she is saying, 'come let me show and share with you my/our Heaven' Pls hold a place for me to come join ya'll. Please put peace over this house because it sure doesn't feel right with you gone. We love you
