Prayers for you and your family. May your soul be blessed by our Lord. No more pain or worries, just love, peace and reunions in heaven. Rest cousin, enjoy eternity in God's grace.

Life will never be the same without him. I will miss his colorful choice of words, his excitement when the holidays approached, and his BBQ recipe that he never shared with us! He went above and beyond for his family and friends. He takes with him a piece of our hearts and our love for him. I know he is probably playing football or fishing with his dad in heaven. Comfort comes knowing that this is only a temporary separation, and that we will meet up again.
