Aren't we lucky that families are together forever. I got to see Brent a week ago cause I got a ticket and needed Jill's notary services. I'm so happy I got to see him for that short little while. Maybe it was a good thing I got that dang Ticket!
Brent and Jill have always been my second parents. I think I spent the night at your house more then I did my own growing up. I love your family! I miss seeing you all. I can't believe how grown up all the grandkids are. Reagan is the most beautiful young women!
Brent really was the best Santa Claus, and stand in dad. He got to meet my little Kathryn and I told him he could be her second Grandpa since he was my second dad. He said he would like that.
I wish I could be there with your family at the funeral but We have my family reunion this weekend. My heart goes out to you and many prayers. I love you guys.
