Willbang,
Ya know ... You broke our hearts by leaving us so soon. So many memories and I still have more "pins" to earn in life. So I will make you proud. We laughed so much over the years.
Tina , Nikki, Gab, Damien, I am so sorry for your family´s loss, but together we will get through this. The last thing he said to me on our last Sunday afternoon chat was ...
"Love you brother"
