From: Missy Holiday
Where do I start? We had 54 years of being not only cousins, but friends. You were a talkative soul who always had a story to tell. Whether it was about the latest adventure at the racetrack or a passionate recount of concerts you attended your favorite being KISS. I will never forget the time when you were just a little boy in grade school on the playground, paradying your favorite Gene Simmons act with spitting a packet of ketchup onto a little girl. You will be deeply missed, but not forgotten. Love ya always and watch over your mom and brother in the difficult days ahead.
