We have so many fond memories... Christmas in Des Moines at one of the brother's house, playing 500 epic tournaments, hearing a new joke or just having an old story of the 8 kids being told from a new perspective. I know how much Dad loved Maynard and so did I... So sad to know he's gone but will always be here in my heart.
