Hey, Kid. Thank you for befriending an "old lady" You were very special to me. Loved working with you and having outside work fun with you. You have left me with many sweet memories. Gone too soon, but never forgotten. You were our apprentice class clown, and we all loved you. Marcia and family - my heart breaks for you. Did not know this until now. Sorry we were not there for visitation and services. Big hugs to you all.

Such a beautiful soul. Always a kind word,and that killer smile. We bonded in art class in 7th grade ,and remained friends throughout our lives. As in everything you did, you fought hard dear friend, and we all appreciated the extra time we were able to spend with you and Marcia. I'm just sad that there wasn't more. RIP Sweet Man, you will be sorely missed by your many friends.
