Read MoreYou are the person I miss the most when I go to WalMart. I usually was there with Koah and her babies or me and one of them. I always looked for you , those babies sure put a smile on your face I'll never forget. I sure am missing you my dear friend who has known me since I was a baby myself. Fly high until we meet again, I love you and so does so many others. Gone but never forgotten.
