Spunk, I remember our hours upon hours we spent together in childhood, youth and as adults. I can still remember your unique laugh, especially when you would pull a prank on me. You were like my big brother and when Kevin came along he was like my little brother, too.
I know your girls miss you very much and I'm sorry for the loss of their " big playmate". Donna, I'm sorry for the loss of your partner of so many years.
With love and sadness, Cousin Charlene Huntsberger-Kiniyalocts
