Rest in peace Cuz, and you will so be missed.
The fond memories I have of you will be with me forever. You were a great cousin and so glad we stayed in touch but as we all know, a busy life gets in the way and we lose touch, but I'll always cherish the fun memories of you and the good times we shared.
Linda, Joe, Jeffrey, & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss, but take comfort in knowing he isn't suffering anymore, but it's the loss that hurts. Your all in my thoughts and prayers.
Rest in peace Diggy ( My Cuz )
