Alice and Phil, I hope you and the kids are as well as can be. If you ever need me, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Don, I miss you so much. I always looked forward to our every day phone calls seeing what we are doing that day. Finding out what and how our famalies and friends are doing. I will miss you making me laugh, when we cried together, sharing allot of the same hobbies together, and so much more we planed on doing together. My life is going to be so different without you in it. You will always have a special place in my heart just for you. I hope you are conoeing on a beautiful river, with beautiful caves, finding a wonderful creek bed with many arrow heads. I hope you are with the spirits you always spoke to and wanted to be with. Rest easy my awsome friend, you are no longer hurting.
You knew what it was to be a good friend.You surrounded youself with your friends and family you loved and showed it. You always found reasons to laugh even at yourself.
I will always miss you and treasure the time we had together.I could not have a better friend!

As a fellow grandparent to Sonnie and Jake jr. it saddens me to have had your sunshine (Sonnie) in my arms so heartbroken over losing her “fishing grandpa” I told her you and her grandpa Sonny were both now in Heaven watching over and protecting her always. Until we meet again, rest in peace.
