Well it's been 12 years today Uncle Jabby since you left this world. I remember when you were going through your divorce you were over my house all the time as it was a rough time for ya but I always made the time because I knew you needed to be around family during that terrible part of your life. Hope to see you one day in heaven if I make it. Love you Unk, Randy

Papa, you´re missed far more than words can express. Some families are bound by blood. Others are bound by choice, love, and the unwavering presence of someone who showed up every day-without condition or hesitation. We didn´t share our DNA, but you shared something far more rare: integrity, kindness, and the kind of love that leaves a legacy deeper than genetics ever could. I´m forever grateful to be one of the people he chose to call family-and who proudly call him ours.
