You know, you're Pops did this every year for you. This time, it's different, both him and Damien are up there with you. I can only imagine the conversations you all are having right now and him trying to keep you boys in line. I sure hope you all are having the time of your lives. To be in the presence of our Lord has got to be the most incredible experience ever. May you all rest easy and watch over your families. Love you all!

Erik: I am sure you didn't expect your brother and dad with you so soon, but I'm sure you're all happy to be reunited. If your dad doesn't realize it, we all miss him terribly and he's left a big hole in our hearts. Tell him "Bobby" says so.

Well Erik this Year it is 18 yrs since you were called home. This yr also your dad wont be writing on your wall, for he has joined you. So I will do it for him. He Missed you so and talked about you often, Damien is also there with you. 2022 was the saddest Yr for me , But I am sure you welcomed them both. Keep and eye on your mom and your brother Justin, they are suffering so. Give Damien and your Dad a hug for me and let them know that I miss them so. And I Love you to man!
