We also bought a pecan Turtle for desert (just a bite though).

See you across the pond.

YTA.

Por Siempre.

Rich,
This is a tough one, no doubt about it. I was taken aback big time when I received Rich Morin's email. Hugs are more appropriate than words at a time like this. Consider this a virtual 'hug.' Take care of yourself and your children. I'll keep you in my prayers.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I first met Pat when I began teaching in Somerville 30 years ago. Her advice, support and love for what she did inspired me in so many ways over that first year. She will be missed!

Halloween won't be the same without her joyful smile on her steps. I know she'll be with us and smiling from Heaven.

May the happy memories you have give you comfort at this time and guide you through tomorrow.

Mom: I will never have a chance in this life to tell you how much I love you, so I pray for the day when we can be together again. Until that time, please watch over our family and friends, and help guide me when you hear me calling. I would not be the man I am today without your guidance, so I thank you. I can't say goodbye just yet, I was not ready for this. I promise I won't let you down.
