    MBF God brought us together as MBFs in 1998, you talked me through some rough spots in my life. I will be forever grateful for you. I wish I would have known the cancer came back. It truly saddens my heart. You and Kimberly were a beautiful couple. I’m so blessed you had her by your side until God took you home. Save a spot up there for us. I love you and will miss you so much. You will always be my MBF forever and always. Untill we meet again.💓
