Saying good bye to an old friend!

This week an old friend passed away from cancer ....Richocet "Bill". I'll miss ya Bill, have a great time up in heaven with Jesus and I'll be seeing ya. Bill reminded me of my dad, from the way he combed his hair to how he walked to even how he spoke sometimes. Bill will be laid to rest today, I don't know if I'm going to the funeral or not because I want to remember Bill the way I remember him.

Here's the obituary:
