Uncle Todd a.ka. "Big Sexy",
It's hard to believe your gone. We have all spent many hours since you've passed lying awake wondering if it were a dream. The girls have talked openly about missing you and I can see the sorrow in Leslie's eyes. Rest in peace knowing that we will do everything in our power to take care of your family as you asked. Though we will never be able t fill your shoes we are honored to be a part of your life. The laughter and food will never be the same at the family gatherings but we will always have our memories. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for loving our son. You and "Mee-Mee" are so special to Easton. I only hope that one day we can repay you for all that you have given to our life. We love you and we will miss you until we see you again. Kiss Nic for us. We love you always and forever.
