Words can not express how I feel about losing Poppy. I feel so blessed that he was part of making me who I am today. He always made me laugh. Was always willing to play a game with me. He started my love of playing Dominioes. He carried on that tradition with Josh & Jaida. I will still remember the first time that he played with Josh at Roo's house, it brought me back to the first time that he taught me how to play. He always had a smile and kind words to say. He was the only person that Bob would let me buy Cubs stuff for :) I feel blessed that
my children were able to spend time with him and will have cherished memories to carry with them.
I love you Poppy!
