Aunt Loretta and Family and all those that loved him, Saying Goodbye to a loved one is hard, but he is in a place where good things happen and love is everywhere. HE is saying hello to all of those who went before him. He is watching those left behind. He was man who believed in family and was always willing to take anyone in who needed a place to live. My love and prayers are with you all. Theresa (Kentwood, MI)
