To Bitt and the entire familyNever has the saying a friend in need is a fiend in deed been more true when you refer to Britt. You were the best friend to all who knew you and will be truly missed by all. One could go on and on about the good times had with you and the times you always helped them out, but to those of us who knew you nothing has to be said. My children and me will never forget you and how much you meant to everyone you new. Your family is in our prayers and may God guide them through this time of grief and loss.Dale Mirabella and kids
