Howdy, my beautiful friend. As I struggle to write this, I have to once again rely on my faith and the reminder that "to be absent of the body is to be present with the Lord". I am calmed that you are no longer in distress but at peace. Of course, we selfishly wish you were able to recover and bring that strong spirit back. I am humbled though that I have another guardian angel to look over me, and one that is more appropriately my age and some shared interests, who better! I pray that I don´t give you, Doug, and Clay too much to do. Some of my fondest memories include you - our cruise experience which included very large drinks from Senior Frogs, Lake Travis experience where we spread some of Clay´s ashes (chatted about memorial tattoos), our Garth Brooks Arrowhead concert and tail-gating experience (AWESOME!), and our winning the women´s division in the Doug Huble Cornhole Competition (yeah buddy). Your "let´s do this" and "go" mentality was so refreshing, you suffered no fools, and you were "real" , which made us even more kindred spirits. Your light will never dim, you reside in our hearts and memories, and we will carry you with us.
