Layton, you were one of the finest men I ever had the pleasure to know. I understand why my father thought so much of you. It was truly an honor for me to have been able to stand in his place as your best man when you and your lovely wife renewed your wedding vows. Give him a hug for me if you would please. You will be missed greatly. But we know you're resting in the arms of Christ the King and will be there to greet us all, as we in time, all pass on to be with our Fathers in the Heavens. God Bless you Sir !
