Although I only had the privilege of meeting you once, it was more than enough to see what a truly special man you were. Your warmth, kindness, and gentle nature left a lasting impression on my heart.
It´s clear you were deeply loved, and that love will continue on through your family especially in the beautiful soul I´m so lucky to welcome into ours.
Rest peacefully. You will be remembered with fondness and gratitude
