With the fondest memories of a sweet kid that always made us laugh, l enjoyed watching you grow, You we´re the cutest little boy, full of energy seeking adventure, Then you played football, & the field lit up, You we´re such a great athlete.
I remember when you came up to Windsor jams, where we were camping, and we all went muddying in your Suzuki jeep, you sure do know how to maneuver a vehicle in the mud, we had a blast, you did love mud,... Then you grew up and became a Dad, I had moved away but when I came home to meet your son you were just beaming with pride... I am so grateful I was able to see you last summer, I will always cherish the memories, That laughter you had was boisterous & contagious... That´s how I will remember you always, I know you were so super proud of your children, He told me with such pride that Austin bought his own home, & you showed me pictures of your Baby GirL, She sure has blossomed into such a beautiful young lady, She looks so much like you, and then little Levi, he´s beautiful... Watch over your babies from above, Time to dig out the home movies, & make copies for everyone,
Until we meet again,
I love you Joe Fish,
Rest In Peace,
Cousin CoCo
