Anytime I Wanted To Go Fishing, All I Had To Do Was To Look Up Tim. He Always Was Ready To Go. Good Memories, And Tim Always Caught More Catfish Than Me. LOL
The one thing ive always said is that the one thing my mom ever did right was to choose you to spend her life with. You were the rock she needed and the glue that brought our family back together. I will always respect and love you for that…your daughter, Monica
