  1. CandleImageMy Alan, my hero, my soulmate. Everyday I shed tears and thank God for sharing you with me the past five years. You told me it is OK to let go of things that needed to be let go, you showed me it is safe to trust, you guided me through changes, and most importantly every day we grew more together. My heart is so lost, we shall find peace together. You are a beautiful soul and I am so blessed. I will always cherish what was built. My love, I miss you & love you so much.

  2. CandleImageI am glad we were able to spend time together last year for my dad’s funeral. I will remember the great times we had with my sister and you guiding us down the river. Not many know that you spent many months caring for my “Opa” during his last days. Your time on earth came to end to soon, but your energy and soul will live on in the people you touched.

  3. We had sooo much fun growing up playing Star Wars, Transformers, G.I., Joe, Monster trucks, making our own cassette tapes downstairs, cruising around as teenagers….etc. lol well hang out soon enough Brother!
