Condolence: I will never forget you dear friend. Thank you for moving to Portland. My life is better for knowing you and your family. It is never easy for Portland people to trust but you earned that trust and respect immediately. You didn't just live in Portland, you became part of the community. You didn't just work here, you spent your free time with us and loved us. You made Portland a better place. I know you will be Portland's angel in heaven just like you were here on earth. I will miss you and love you every day. May God give peace and comfort to your fella's. I know they meant the world to you. They are so special. Please give Tyler a hug from me and tell him I'm coming when it's my time. Thank you for everything and most of all Thank God for giving us Joni. xoxoxo
