Later on in life as the military streightened me out I always looked forward to visiting you and antie Jeanie. I know it has been many year since we had a good visit and I will miss you dearly. You sir have earned your rest. Be in peace, and if you need a good laugh come and visit your spirit is always welcome in my home.
