Rest in Peace Nephew. You deserve the rest. You were such a cute kid, I just couldn’t get mad at you even when you were attempting to push a small dresser down the stairs as I was going up them. You helped your Grandfather if there was anything heavy to be lifted. Thank you.
Barbara, Jackie, Ben and Patricia. I have so many memories of him as he was growing up. I would love to share.
Aunt Sandy
