I remember you from my early childhood. You always brought our family A big Turkey when times where tough for my parents with 5 kids at the time. I was at your house a lot playing with Eileen . You did a great job raising your kids They all turned out to be outstanding , Even though you left them way too early. Rest In Peace.
I also still pray for your partner who was hurt really bad that night JD I hope and pray you are still doing well.
