To my favorite cousin Pac Man. I wish I could see you but that wasn't meant to be. I wish I could call you hug you n tell you I love you over n over again but I guess that wasn't to be either. There's not a word or person in this world that could describe the emptiness I feel since you've been gone. I will always think bout you n know ur watching over me. I miss you n love you with all my mite n soul. Til we meet again rest in Paradise
love always dawn flinspach aka ur baby d. And Trevor edey.
