Rest in Heaven and in Peace.  You were one of the best friends anyone could have and my heart and prayers go out to your family.  You were just a good stand up guy all around.  And the world has truly lost a bright light. It was an honor and a privilege to have served you and your family in your time of need.

IT HAS BEEN A LONG JOURNEY FOR YOU AND ME. WE BOTH SHARED A PERSON WE LOVE  AND CHERISH.  I MEET YOU THE DAY YOUR MOTHER  CAME INTO MY LIFE. YOU WAS HER MOST PRECIOUS GIFT THAT GOD COULD EVER AWARD HER WITH. SHE WAS SO PROUD YOU, YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENT, YOUR STRENGHTS, JUST BEING HER SON. THAT WHAT SHE TALK ABOUT THE MOST HER CHILDREN.  NO MATTER OLD YOU ARE, YOU ARE ALWAYS YOUR MOTHER'S/FATHER CHILD. THE LOSS IS NO EASIER TO BEAR , THE VOID IS NO EASIER TO FILL, AND THE YEARNING TO SPEAK, TO TOUCH, TO SHARE IS JUST AS STRONG- AN UNBREAKABLE BOND - THE BOND YOU SHARED WITH YOUR MOTHER/FATHER DOESNT END WITH DEATH. THE LESSONS YOU LEARNED, THE MEMORIES YOU'VE SHARED, AND THE LOVE THAT YOUR PARENTS HAD FOR YOU LIVES ON.

LOVE YOU

JANICE TAYLOR - ORLANDO, FLORIDA
