Sandy, I really don’t know where to start! I Always told Mom that for her putting her life hold to take care of Davey after he took his bad stroke and couldn’t take care of himself, that God was gonna send her an Angel and sure enough, he sent you & You were an Angel here on Earth as I know you are also in death! You actually took the time out of your days and would teach us thing’s, you taught the babies & Cam a lot of stuff! I know you helped Cam out so much when he was doing weight lifting and I’ll Never forget how Proud of my baby you were when he got 2nd place in the 2018 Barbell Bash Invitational. You always coached him to lift without hurting himself, you taught him tip’s & trick’s on lifting, you even taught him how to fight...lol You done so much for me and my Family and I’m Forever Thankful and Grateful! I Loved our Family Movie Nights, You & Pokey playing Checker’s, You,Mom, & me going out to eat Chinese...You got me hooked on Sushi and now my Sushi Buddy is gone and nobody will go eat it with me now! I don’t even know if I could eat it if I had it simply because it takes me back to all of them Memories and it still hurt’s! You would be so Proud of me, I’ve been taking care of your Honey and she’s going crazy without you here with her! I knew when we heard that you had passed that I had to step up and take care of her, because that’s what you would have wanted me to do and I am, I’m trying to make you happy, can you see me? There’s nowhere I don’t go that she don’t go! I hope the Angel’s know what they have! I Love & Miss You so much Big Man♥️
