Ok we are on year 9 without you, gosh I really think about you, all the great stories from you and your brothers, like setting the woods on fire. You were a hoot. All your kids are doing good, we still see each other, so glad your bond is strong your kids are so strong too. We love you, and will forever. Best mom ever
