We have so many memories! Making mud pies, our pet cemetery on high Street, playing baseball all day, football, wrestling and jumping off your bunk beds trying to body slam each other lmao. 4th of July when the witchy poo old lady neighbors would put the hose on us and all the Gavin men mooned them I call it salute them! Uncle Billy swimming in the rocks in the driveway telling us he’s the best swimmer! Saturday mornings big Kev or uncle Dennis would cook huge breakfasts while we watched cartoons like peewees play house (I know so embarrassing), heman, transformers,playing nintendo to Sega, toys etc. We would all fight and being the only girl because Robin was way older I had to hold my own! I loved when the neighborhood kids didn’t want to pick me, the girl on their team by Ry picked me first because he said I was the best player. I had a curve ball no one could hit and I hit homers all day. Football I tackled with no mercy I broke both pinkies and could throw, Basketball I hit the 3’s all day. He never looked at me like a girl I was always one of the boys!!! We went through elementary school together and middle school. You were one of a very few I was that close too. We were best cousins from beating up the kid who took our toy to giving girl/boy advice in middle school. Best memories of my life. You always had a big heart and I knew you would be an amazing father and husband. To the family I am so so sorry I can’t imagine the pain. Just know he’s there smiling watching over you’s. I will miss you Ry you will never be forgotten. Say hey to my dad for me.
