I will never forget you. The nights playing 500 Rummy. The game shows, running through the thrift shop, the weekends at your house. The Christmas Eves that Uncle Henry (RIP) or Joe would play pranks and make bad jokes. The time we all went to south haven to ride the mini trains. I'll never forget any of it. I miss you so very much and I had so much to ask you that I never had the chance. Love you forever. See you soon.
