Grizzly! It is so hard that you left us on the earth. I was glad you found me on FB and we chatted and caught up on news on video chatting. Thank you for your time with me a few times before you departed. We had a blast in the past. You were so fun and easygoing to hang out with. You made so good and CHAMP broiled peanuts. When I see any broiled peanuts, I think about you. Thank you for introducing me to your best-broiled peanuts. Let’s celebrate the broiled peanuts with Jesus! I dearly miss you loads. I’ll never forget you. I pray your new journey is beginning, peace, and joyous with Jesus. Hugs.
