  • You will be sorely missed everyday, we will miss your silly jokes that sometimes didnt land, your quirky personality and pranks, i will miss our juice and coffee chats, or randomly bumping into you everywhere i went, the kids will miss your stories and banter, thank you for always having time for them, still cant believe your not here anymore, R.I.P
