You and James were the first people in the family that Michael introduced me to. I didn't know what to think, ya'll ribbed me so bad. But, I would have to say that both of you made me a better person for having met ya'll. What you see is what you get. I've missed you since you moved and I know Michael has too. Rest in peace.
