My dear friend, you knew exactly what I thought of you. You were an inspiration of monumental proportion! I have never met another person that I’ve admired more! It was hard to see you go but it Is a blessing to know that you are with our Lord and, most of all, not in pain! Until we meet again, you are in my heart forever!
