You were a kind hearted, gentle soul. My life was forever changed for having known you. We had our trials and tribulations since we met but it only strengthed our relationship. My only regret is not being a better friend and being there when you truly needed me. I am glad that you are no longer in pain and hope there are horses, dogs, and tractors aplenty where you are!
