You have always been a special man to me when i looked at you i always saw the strongest person in the world and nothing could hurt or scare you . i now that god needed you for some reason only he knows but i do no one thing you will be loved and missed. Just wished i could have been with you more . But i will never forget the memories of you when i was a kid.Always got so excited when granny would tell us you was coming down. Was the greatest time in my life to get to see you.
