You will forever be in my heart Sir
You touched my life in ways I didn’t even know existed. Very very much loved by me and my daughter ❤️
It was an honor to be a part of your life the last few years at Autumn Ridge. You touched the hearts of many with your gentle caring ways. You were my lieutenant in command, with everything from stuffing Easter eggs (10,000 to be exact) for the Church children to folding our monthly calendars…and keeping Krissy under control🥰 We will miss you beyond measure. I will forever love you Sir❤️
Darlene and family, we’re so sorry for your loss. Praying for comfort and healing during this time. ((Hugs))
