My heart broke when I found out just a few weeks ago that you were gone. Still shocking and unbelievable. You were always the kindest and most gentile soul. Love talking fantasy football and sports with you. When times were tough, we searched for answers from the Lord. He provided refuge for you then and I pray you are with Him now. Never will forget our conversations. Never heard you say a bad word about anyone. God bless my brother! The High Rollers will never be the same. Until we meet again, peace and love.
