There are so many childhood memories especially all the years of camping adventures that I still talk about today. Even though you will be missed we rest in our faith that you are in a better place, happy with Uncle Henry and my dear mother Jane.

I will miss our wonderful conversations, your smile, and your kind heart Aunt Bet's. I know you wanted to go be with Uncle Hank and now you are but my heart is still broken and I will miss you so very much.
