"Dear cuz - Your sweet smile and great sense of humor will be missed! You left us too soon, but when the Lord calls, we go! And we know you are in a better place. Thinking of you brings back many fond memories of childhood experiences playing in the barn, swimming at your lake, etc. and makes me smile. I can still see you and Warren walking barefoot through the cow patties! Love you much, Joan and Al "
