Stetson, although we weren't neighbors for very long, the best memories I have of you are of you and your boys hanging out in the front yard. You and Johnathan would be working on something, while Jake would try and imitate what you were doing. Your boys are wonderful kids and I hope you are looking down upon them, forever in their hearts. God Bless Ellie, Johnathan, and Jake, as well as all of the Rankin family. Their loss is tremendous. RIP
