R.i.p I remember you and my dad (jbird) going fishing all the time. You were a great man. Now maybe y’all can fish again. Rest easy.
I am so sorry for your loss. My loving thoughts and prayers are for God’s Comfort and Peace to be with the family and friends of Tracy during this time of grieving.
I love you Uncle T! I will miss you more than you may know! See you again one sweet day with a big hug & a smile! Love you!
Tracy, what do I say? I have so many memories I could tell about, but the one that always came up when we were just riding and listening to music was when we first started these 13 1/2 years was writing letters to each other. You definitely surprised me, but I will keep all of them forever with the ones I sent to you. No matter how much I miss us, keep smiling my dear. I love you more!
