It has been said that you never forget your first love. Truer words have never been said. Junior, you were my first love and a part of me will always love you. Thanks for the motorcycle rides these last few years. Beau will meet you at the Rainbow Bridge. I am sure he will be glad to see you. He was my best friend for 37 yrs and you helped me raise him. A part of me will love you until the day that I die. Rest in peace Junior--you will be missed. My prayers and love are with your family.
