My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Hugs.
I grew up loving every minute spent visiting and hanging out with you while I visited grandma and grandpa. The times when you would make me chase you thru the hiuse and you had those plastic rugs in the hallway turned over so that i would run across the pokie things. And how you would give me piggie backs and make my knees hit the door frames as we went thru them. Ill miss the bugs in my teeth from riding with you on that Harley and wishing you told me before to keep my mouth shut. I have those great memories from my only boy cousin because you were special. I will miss you soo very much. Take care of mom and grandma and grandpa.
I love you cuz~

You and your friends including my older brother helped me become the man I am.
