I will always remember our times together. The memories of our vacations will live on forever and make us laugh and wish them back! Some of our favorite memories:

Washington DC, Tony our driver
Orlando Disney World
Camping
And of course Virginia Beach every year.
My ugly Hoots that made you laugh.
And the heat of the van traveling to Florida and you cracking in the heat willing to use my credit card for a room with air conditioning

So many great times and loving you for the wife and mother you were. Thanks for being part of my life

Love ugly hoots,

Nanci Starr Kirby
