I told Todd on Monday how he would talk about Uncle Laddie with so much love, respect and admiration, when we were first dating. When I finally met this "legend", I knew Todd had painted a very accurate picture. He was a special person to so many people and I'm honored to be among them. My thoughts are with all of you and prayers that Uncle Laddie is at peace and fully himself again in heaven. with love, Kristin
