Dear Pat, Spencer & Kos: Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We wish we could be there to celebrate Yaw's life. He taught me a wonderful life lesson which I will always treasure, "When I got sick, I didn't ask God 'WHY ME?'" Yaw then shared that he didn't ask God "WHY ME?" when great & amazing things happened in his life, so why should he ask "WHY ME?" when he got sick. What a wise man! Know that we love you all!
