I love you Bro..I will miss seeing your smile, your "Hi Baby" when I'd walk into your room and those beautiful blue eyes!! It was God's plan to put you there at WoodGlen to be a friend and a blessing to everyone there. You never complained about your circumstances. You taught us all by your example how to be accepting, kind and grateful. I'll carry you always in my heart. Love, Toodles
