It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult loss.

Valerie - I can't believe this news. I had recent opportunity to visit with him as we ran into each other a few times - usually at WalMart. He was so vibrant and jovial. It seemed like he was in great shape. I am shocked. I will cherish the fond memories. And, he was one of my father's favorite friends. I know you and your entire extended family are going to miss him terribly. My heart is with you.
