Johnny, you are finally home! Stephen and Brandon, know that your dad was very proud of his boys and you heard it in his voice whenever he talked about you. Know that your dad will always be in your heart.

Johnny has finally come home and I know that he already has them laughing with his quirks. Will be sorely missed. Stephen and Brandon, know that your daddy was so proud of his boys as he constantly talked about you guys and you heard it in his voice how deeply he loved you and how proud he is of you. He is and will always be in your hearts.
