Were does one find the right words at a time like this. My heart now has a void that can never be filled with the loss of this young man -
I would give anything to go back to Cooperstown with everyone and have that same cookout and everyone jumping off the dock, laughing and not having a care in the world. I will cherish those memories for ever - Love you All
