Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more that a thought apart. For as long there is a memory, they’ll live on in our hearts. - Author Unknown Uncle Rodger...as sitting here just getting the news about loosing you my heart aches...you meant so much to me .
