"I don't know where to begin because there is so much on my mind and in my heart. Not only were you one of my dads good friends, but you were my friends dad, and my softball coach. You were family. Thanksgiving will always will always make me think of you from now on. I always find my self questioning Gods choices when it comes to life and death, but I know that you stayed here on earth after Holly left to take care of everyone else, and now it was your time. It brings me a little piece of mind to know that my friend has her daddy on heaven but my heart still hurts for Jerri and the girls and the grandkids. I know how important your role was. My dad took it pretty hard when the phone rang and he got the news. This isn't goodbye..... I will never forget....."
