Can't forget kim and mike, our other cousins in norton . How the tree of life branches us out in dif directions. If I could relive the past 20 years, I'd make more time for my family. All my cousins I grew up with. I never took the time to meet your spouses, meet your children, and vice versa. Life's to short. May your family know your in God's hands now.

When we were wee little ones going to Grandma Urban's for holidays, I always enjoyed hanging out with you and your sisters. We'd run the streets of Norton, hanging out with our Streit cousins. !!. Then we all grew up, moved on with our lives, family, work. I wish I could of known you as an adult. Rest in peace dear cousin. Our prayers with you and your family.
