The first time I met Will, he told me if I didn't take care of his daughter he would pop me, I promise you she will always been taken care of. We miss you and love you. I know you wanted to fight to get better but I am forever grateful that you were able to work your daughter down the aisle.

All my love to the Manganelli family at this time of sorrow. I remember the first time I met Holly's dad, he made sure to joke around all the time with me and make me feel right at home. My favorite thing he ever did was whenever I saw him he'd quote Castaway and practically yodel Wilson! Forever going to keep him in my memory.
