We had many fun times together and I already miss you. You were more like a brother, to me, than a cousin. I know you are at peace now; no more suffering or pain.
I am so grateful for all the holidays you and Diane were able to spend with me and my family. I will also miss the Charleston Christmas Show that you, Diane,
Emma and I attended every year it meant so much to you and of course, to us. It will seem strange not having that happy voice sing to me on my birthday, but the memory of it will always be there.
Rest in PEACE, my dear cousin, your memory will live on in my heart.
