Hey cuz! Not the way I wanted to say goodbye to you. I have confidence that you are at peace though. Don’t give them too much trouble up there. Make em smile like you did us down here. You will be remembered in my heart. Always good times. Always laughter, and some how we looked good in the 1978 Malibu (could be wrong on the year…)(brown bomber). You loved that car man. How about camping in the back yard on NeedlePalm. You definitely showed me a thing or two on the pool table as well. We fished a few times. Don’t remember any trophy fish… but good times were had. These are just a few memories that will carry on. I have a feeling you are pretty busy catching up with Your momma (Aunt Dawn). Give her a hug from the Gilley’s. Until next time my man! Give heaven some hell up there and keep em straight. ❤️
