I've known you my entire life, and I started to write a note to you before you passed and it just didn't come out right. In the those last few months, I didn't know what to say, but it made me sad to know that you were as sick as you were... Your heart of gold, wondered how my injured hand was, and me trying to get back to work, instead of worrying about what was going on wit you. Well my hand has gotten better and I'm back to work full-time as of yesterday, and you have been gone for nearly 6 weeks now! One of my first memories of you, remember when I was 3 years old, and I went bowling for the very first time, and remember when I got my fingers stuck in the bowling ball. I knew at that point when you tried to get my fingers unstuck that you were a loving individual! I am so very happy that we got to see you in 2010! My mom has had the privilege to keep in touch with you all these years, and I'm glad for that! Today is your memorial and we all wish we can come, but knowing we can't our thoughts will be there with you! Enough for now, I MISS YOU & LOVE YOU THAT MUCH MORE!! :( <3
