Robert- I think this is the 20th time I have tried to write this but I just don't know how to say thank you... I have only known you for a year and a half but somehow in that short time your infectious laughter, outrageous stories, NASCAR outfits, civil war tournaments, straight leg dances, jumps from the balcony of the lake house, nights in Auburn and sweet Michael Jackson moves have changed me forever! So many people spend thir lives on this earth and never truely live like you did in just 24 short years. You will continue on in the memories of those who love you (who couldn't?) and I look forward to watching the Daytona 500 while wearing a mullet wig, eating a fried turkey and drinking from the flabongo with your in your house on a cul-de-sac in Heaven. You exemplify what it means to be an American, a hero and a real Man. Nothing makes me prouder than to say that I was a friend of yours! "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Revelation 21:4 |
