A Time to Live
Duke was a precious jewel that was cherished by his family and all that knew him. He had the most humbling spirit. Duke embraced life was a bright, warm smile and a cheerful outlook. Despite being nonverbal, he was able to express his job and love for his family in clever ways; whether it was a smile, a cheer of excitement, or a warm embrace. Duke was an inspiration to his family. He taught us kindness and patience, and to also be happy and find joy in the simple things in life. He is truly a precious jewel that will never be forgotten.
