Hoss and Betty were my neighbors for several years. We used to sit and chat sharing coffee and jokes. They both had a great sense of humor. My sympathies to you on your loss. They are missed.

When I was little I looked up to my brother because he was big and strong.
Today I look up to my brother because he is in Heaven where he belongs.
You may be gone Hoss but you will never be forgotten.
I´ll see you on the other side brother.
I love you!
Mary
