It´s been 12 years-hard to even believe it. Not a day goes by when we don´t have a thought of you missing at the table. See you soon again...this I know, for the Bible tells me so

Your departure definitely left a lasting impact and void on us all! I am hoping for a good turnout to honor your memory and especially can´t wait for some of the stories involving you...lol. I know...
