Happy Birthday Brian. Hard to believe this is your 32 birthday. Carmella and Izzy are doing fine and getting older like me. There is a new dog here whose name is Eddie and he has been excepted by the two ladies. The turkeys are starting to lay and the farm is holding on. I sure do miss your words, help, friendship and all that you use to do to keep me out of trouble. When I told dad that it was your Birthday today he just gets silent and say nothing. I know it still hurt him that you are gone. Dad will be 90 this year and sure would be fun to have you help plan his party. You were so good to him Brian. I hope and pray that you are remembering me in your prayers from heaven. I sure need them and I know some day I will see you again. Love Bob

Brian my best friend. Izzy, Carmella and I wish you a Happy 31st birthday. You have no idea how much we wish you where here. Just to hear your laughter and Izzy wants some of your brithday cake and ice cream. Your dogs are doing good and I am trying my best to take good care of them. Carmella is as fat as ever and Izzy is the best farm dog I have ever had. Brian you where so right when you brought her home and I had my doubts. Your turkeys are doing good and I have already set over a 1000 eggs. Wish you where here to shot these damn coyotes. Remember when you where going to shot a coyote and I came around the fence line and the coyote say me and run before you could shoot? Man you got mad a me but you got the coyote on the run. I have been looking for the coyote caller we bought. Do you know where it is? Please let me know. I miss taking with you and having your help making decisions about the farm. Please pray for me and the work we where doing. Your friend forever. Bob
