Patti, Tina, Ashley, Kelly, and Jason; We are so sorry about Rooster. There never comes a time that we don't think about him when we go fishing in Sarasota. Rooster taught Grant everything he knows about fishing. I think Rooster was born a hundred years too late. Can you imagine how much fun he would have had when a man could catch snook all day... Our hearts are with you all and please call if you need anything or just need to talk. Rooster was a good man and he was blessed to have you all to love him. God Bless you all and we pray that you find peace and comfort in your memories of him. Rooster God bless you in Heaven because I know that's where you are.

I know how you all are feeling but always remember that he will be watching each and every one of you. Let me know if you need anything. I love and miss you all.
Love,
Kristi, Bubba, Garrett, and Taylor Browning

My Special Angel
He's always watching over me,
I feel his presence near,
He's always here to listen,
And guide me through my fears.
He's a very special angel,
One God choose just for me,
He was once my Dad here on earth,
But that wasn't long to be.
God called him home one morning,
My fear and rage were seen,
If He were a loving God,
Why take my Dad from me.
But in time I saw the plan,
He unveiled for me to see,
He had taken my Dad away,
But He gave him back to me.
There was only one thing different,
About this wonderous thing,
He just traded his faded blue jeans,
For a halo and snow white wings.
I love and miss you so much dad.

I'll never forget Rooster, he always had something smart to say me and always had a simile on his face. Most of all, he was the one that taught me how to fish. I wish I was able to go fishing with him one last time before passed. As for the family, he always will be in our hearts and smiling down upon us, however he may have a rod in one hand. My best wishes go out to the family.

Teresa and I want to pass on our heartfelt condolances Patty and the whole family on Bills passing. I have such great thoughts of Bill, the times we spent fishing, kicking back with a few cold ones and just learning about how Old Florida used to be. Bill was a great employee but most of all someone who was a nice person.
