It’s been almost 25 years since you left us for Heaven. I just wanted to drop in and tell you how much we miss you. I think about all the great times we had often and think about the one’s we would be still making. I know God had to take you so you could watch over all of us. Parri and I just made 26 years and the boys are now 25 and 22. I’m working everyday to get to Heaven to see you. Love you Brother.
