Linda, we're so thankful that we got to be with both of you in May, when you were here in Florida. He was such a good guy, a good friend and a great twin brother. I know that he probably got tired of me tagging along, while we were growing up, but he was always my protector, my big brother ( by 20 minutes).
I also know how happy he was that he found you, Linda.
Lynn, Kevin & Casey, we are so sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers also
God Bless You All,
John & Donna
