Goodbye Chad ~

Received a very sad phone call tonight from my cousin Christy..."Chad is no longer with us", she said. It took a few seconds for that to sink in...and I'm still not sure it has.
Chad was one of those people that everyone loved...charming, funny, a smart ass and a super cool guy. All the kids loved him!  He was always the first one outside to play with them...water fights, frisbee, baseball, soccer, go carts, illegal fireworks, you name it...he was game!
He gave great hugs and had a mischievous and infectious smile! Your girls were truly cheated, and my heart aches for them!  We love you Chad and we will miss you!  The photo above is the way i will remember you always!  The photo below is a favorite memory of mine...your sarcastic humor had me laughing and crying at the same time....man, I'm gonna miss you!
