Nothing will ever take away the memories we had playing on your boat or turning out hats sideways being funny downtthe beach. I will always remember you setting up your train set up and letting me play with it during christmas. The times you use to let me play your nintendo and told me to relax everytime i got mad at the games. You will be missed by all. your in a better place now looking over everyone.
