    I will always have good memories of our fun times together when you used to buy pizzas & cokes on Fridays when we watched movies. I will miss hearing your voice when you called every night from Lake Mary, you always loved to talk about Brigitte & Hanz & wanted to hear how my animals were doing. You were a happy soul & you were loved!❤️
