I feel like I've known you forever. Not even sure where to begin. So many memories with our kids together, birthdays, holidays, emergencies, or just grilling out. I watched your children being born and your bonus kids growing up. You've always been like family to me. Whether we were roasting each other, telling jokes, or just a shoulder when things were tough. You taught me how to drive a stick shift and even trusted me to take your Jeep while you were working so I could practice. Then there was the time you had me try to kick start your Harley but told me to hang on. All of the times we went mudding or motorcycle riding, I won't ever forget. You always watched out for me. So many memories that I can't begin to put them all down in words. I made the same promise to you that I made to Donya, and that is I will always look out for the kids. It's hard to believe you won't be razzing me anymore. I miss you dearly. This isn't goodbye but see you later. Rest in Peace my friend. Love, Rita
