I can't believe it's been 6yrs since you went home to Jesus. You will always have a special place in my heart. I can remember us playing together in elementary school and our many talks at the credit union. Miss you my friend :(

I agree with my uncle Timmy it feels like their is less laughter and happiness since you left but now that I realize that your rocking baby cousin Emma into a peaceful slumber as she closes her innocent eyes and sleeps in your arms that you are happy and well in health and you know longer suffer I now realize that if I were suffering I would go where you are now. It's a wonderful place and I feel you looking down on me. Does any one else feel the same? Comment if you agree
