Wolf,

I am truly missing you. I loved you so much and I thank you for taking care of me. You were such an humble brother and cared so much about others. You really took care of your family and the rest of the klan. Thanks so much for loving and taking care of my sister. I will help Bug and Brian through this difficult time. The Sherrill girls are going to be just fine. Please say hello to the gang and that we miss them so much. Take that needed rest until we meet again. Love always, Cookie
