So grateful for the most profound love and times we shared. You were an amazing father to Hannah, Jacob, and Noah, and a wonderful friend and mentor to Christian, Kaley, and Corbin. You were so loved by so many and it´s a perfect tribute to what you brought to the lives of everyone that knew you. It was an honor to be your wife, best friend, and partner. Godspeed my forever love.
