To my favorite brother in law, a man who was more than a friend to all:
Colossians 3:12-14
Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony."
This was your character, always loving and forgiving and putting others feelings above your own!
I will miss you and will see you again!
