Carol, Gene, Eric, Leanne and Aaron, I was so saddened to hear the news of Guys passing. I the have such beautiful memories of him as we all grew up. His heart was truly the biggest heart I ever knew.I fondly remember him coming in to Leannes' room when we were hanging out or us going to the family room and him watching tv, but always stopping to visit with me. His frequent trips to our house just to visit were always welcomed and mostly his love for Fonzi and the way he always used to smooth his hair back and say "Heyyy" is a precious memory. Heaven sure gained a one of a kind angel.
Sending Love and Prayers to you all.
