I love you Reece and I'm sorry for your loss. Your dad was not only my old sponsor but he was friend. He was a good dad, and he was so proud of you. I'm proud of you too. You've grown into a fine man and some of that is from your dad. Hang in there, and it will get a little easier with time. Hope I can see you again soon. Carry Arthur's legacy on. Your dad was a good person, and I'll miss him.
