Happy birthday bubba! Hope you have found peace in your final journey and hope we will all be together soon. Please watch over us to keep us safe and guide us with your wisdom. You are loved and missed beyond words.

And you saw that in me, and you will never understand just how much I appreciate you, your words, your love, your kindness. You...

Happy Birthday bubs! Still missing you every day. With love forever and always....Rest in peace
