You are my little brother, that you'll always be,

Because our God in heaven made us family.

I told you that I love you and you said you love me,

Until God comes to take me home, Your words will comfort me.

I didn't get to say goodbye, to hug or kiss your face,

But in my heart I know you are, just a prayer away.

With all my love,

Your Sister

Coach- I just heard of your passing and had no idea of your illness. My prayers go out to you and your family. I just wanted to pay my respects and to let you know that you were one of the most influencial role models in my life. You taught me the skills and the determination to become a wrestler. Your influence on me was one of the reasons that led me to be a teacher and coach. May God cast his highest blessings apon you and your family and expand your territories. Tim James

It has been a long time, but I used to see Mr. Swallow every saturday during freestyle wrestling. He was always supporting his family/team and always had a kind word for the kids. I am sorry for your loss, he was a good man.

To Chuck's Family. He will be greatly missed by all of his friends here at Amoco/BP. Chuck was one of those guys that everyone liked and always made you laugh. I can still here that funny laugh of his like he was still here. We all know he now is in a good place. And I am sure he is making God laugh just by his company.

I know you fought so hard, and I am so proud of you for that. I wish that this did not happen to you. I know it has only been a few days, but I miss you so very much, and that will never stop. A day will not go by that I do not think of the things you have done for us. Just know that we will take care of each other as you watch over us from HEAVEN. I LOVE YOU DAD!!!
