Happy, I've never met someone so laid back and down to earth. You were happy and smiling every time I seen you, making me and everyone else laugh. Thank you for coming to Kraigs B-Day party and spending time with us. It means even more now then it did a couple weeks ago. I find comfort in this time of hurt because you are no longer in pain. You will be missed by many and until we meet again my friend, we love you and miss you. Lynn and the kids, it was a pleasure getting to know him and being around him. I pray for healing, comfort, understanding and love for all of you!! We apologize that we cant be there, but you are definitely in our thoughts and hearts. We love you!!
