Dear Family,

It sounds like your loved one really enjoyed life and that is what life is all about, we pass this way once. I know that he will be truly missed. Whenever, you want to feel close to him, listen to a song that he loved, or look at pictures of happier times. Somehow I believe that those that pass over, sense when they are being remembered. However, if I am wrong, I know for sure you will feel better, when you stop and take time to remember your loved one. My prayers are with you all! Daphne McDonald Aaron, Atlanta Georgia
