2008 was a year I will cherish forever. Playing euchre with Kathy and Don, joining the pool league with Denny, Jack, and Denny, redoing the living room, bathroom and bedroom together at your home, New Years with Theresa and Bobby, camping trips to West Virginia, telling Amanda she was going to be a big sis(again)at IHOP, bringing our little girl into the world the day of states for pool, all the b-days, Christmas’s, and get togethers at your house, cornhole and pool with Homie, the laughs til we cried...every moment, good and bad, were my favorite times and I wish I would’ve thanked you for them. Love you babe. See you again. Save me a seat
