Seriously, words escape me! Having known Britt for almost 15 years, I loved the guy! Our annual men's fish fries in the kitchen with him, sitting behind him almost every Sunday, Thursday evening studies (Did I mention I work for Homemakers? he would always say!), giving him an idea for his vanity plate, trips to Promise Keepers, his last visit to our home in Waterloo...the list is endless!
I can't say "We lost Britt" for I KNOW WHERE HE IS THIS VERY MINUTE!
What a man Britt was. I am honored to have him as one of my friends and I will miss him deeply. How sad that we got moved back to the Des Moines area and Britt and I hadn't had the chance to reconnect.
