Robert,
As I said in my earlier post, we experienced both great times and some not-so-good ones, but that´s life and we endured to the very end! I cherished and will miss our deep conversations about us, about life and about the world (I always said you had deep thoughts about everything) and you loved sharing them. This is how I got to know, appreciate, respect, and love you for who you were-never compromising nor altering yourself for anyone or anything.
One card I gave you a while ago said, "No one could ever fill your shoes"-so true!
I will forever remember our last conversation-"the dream" so, whenever I listen to Miles Davis´s version of the tune "I Had A Dream Last Night" I will think of you, remember that conversation and smile. I am really going to miss you, my love; but I have all the wonderful memories to help me through.
We had a great run, and I will miss you.
Your Vurnie
