Every single memory I do have of you is a good one. We use to love getting to see you and aunt Dawn and of course Sadie... When you would come to family dinners driving your cop car and you turning on the lights and siren for us was so awesome to us as little kids. I really wish my kids could have gotten to meet you. I love and miss you. RIP UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN IN HEAVEN!!!
