My Dearest Roxanne:

Had I known you would be leaving this earth instead of just this County, there are so many more things I would have said and done in the time that was left......you were a great friend with the kindest of hearts and a wonderful spirit which will continue to live on through the people who knew and loved you. May you sit on the highest cloud and enjoy the most beautiful sunsets with a good glass of wine and something interesting to research. Godspeed...........
