May the road
rise to meet you.
May the wind
be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm
upon your face
and rains fall soft
upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
in the hollow of His hand.
An Old Irish Blessing

Yo Bro,You were always more like a brother to me than an in-law I will miss you coming over to watch the games with us.I have never known a more loyal,stronger,tougher man in my life,but I am sorry I have to say you had a loving,soft marshmallow center and loved life,family and friends more than you wanted anyone to know.I also want to thank you for sharing your life and love with all of us you are truly loved and will be truly missed by all of us.I still can't believe when I last saw you at the hospital and said goodby then shook hands it still felt like you were going to break mine,as usual.I hope sampson gives you enough room on the couch up there.No goodby's my friend and brother,but until we meet again. All our love, Glenn,Elsie,Glenn and Michael
