I just saw a middle school picture of you, brother! Blue through and through, miss you, your smile, and helpful demeanor. Even when you were NPD you still took time to back me up, but that was you, always ready to help. Your family continues to be in our prayers, we are doing our best out here holding the line, keep watching over us all. Much love sent.
