Itch from me to you: I know your dad, Jason, and my dad were there to meet you. I can just see all of you standing around sharing stories and roaring with laughter. I was remembering all the good times we had growing up of hide and seek, going to the A&W, fishing, snowmobiling, going to Yellowstone, the laughter and yes shared heartaches. Will miss getting to send you photos of my two grandsons on your cell. Just know: "Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean I'll miss you, Until we meet again." God be with him. All my love, hugs -Tannya
