I recall the Jazz games and having dinner at Mom´s last time you came for vacation. Very sad, but happy to know you´re with Momma and Joe, taking care of each other.

I remember how much Alex loved the Cowboys and it was unusual to see him without a Dallas Cowboys hat. Mom was very set on having things her way and in this pic before I took it, she told Alex take off your hat and as kids and the respect we had, we never dared say "no"
to mom and so he did. The funny about it is you can actually see on his face how much he hated taking it off.
