Shannon, although we have all "grown up" (NOT OLD) the memories of all the times we spent at family holidays & get togethers, camping, sleepovers, making you dress up like a girl with Jennifer and Miranda at Aunt Vickie's house and most of all exploring the woods and hanging out in the creeks catching crawdads, are some that I have always and will always cherish.

Even though you, Jason and even Uncle Roy loved to pick on me I loved every second of it!!!

My dear cousin, although all of us left here on earth are hurting, I know you are now no longer in pain and can truly rest and that thought helps to comfort the sorrow.

I am so sorry that I didn't get around to calling you like I said in my last message but just know that one day we will have that conversation. 

Rest in paradise my dear cousin and please tell Chad hello for us.
