I have been wondering what God wanted you for. He knew you where a great man with a joy for life ad who loved his family and friends. I will miss you Yodi. We are sports fans and had a Cub Cardinal relationship. I will miss you commenting on my posts. I know you will be looking down and saying I was loved by a lot of people. You touched everyone in different ways and no one was a stranger. You always smiled and made people laugh that was the only way you knew how. So as I sit here I will toast you and say thank you for being you. Also to all your family I will always say a prayer for them to ask God to protect and guide them through this time. So as I close I will miss you Rest in peace my "Friend".
