"I will always remember the walks in the woods, the working in the fields, going out on the water, and our rides around the farm, if for nothing more then just spending time together. You have taught me that there is so much more to life then what money can buy. I will miss you so much, words could never account for what you meant and still mean to me, you will always be with me.
