We could not have asked for a better neighbor or friend. Thank you for always putting up with Thunder & being so understanding. On Friday when Livi said her prayers, she prayed that she hoped you were having fun in the clouds with Jesus. Our lives are better for knowing you and your family... RIP Neighbor!
