Words CANNOT express the overwhelming support EVERYONE has given to my entire family. My brother John was more important than he realized. He was there for me and I have always been there for him and I will not let him be forgotten. His son was his life. Him and Cordel cruising around on the tractor visiting was their thing. So even if it is everytime the lawnmower is out, his memories will be there. THANKYOU TO ALL !!
