We can't believe 4 years has gone by so quickly. Dale and I still think about you and still can't believe how it seemed all was going so well for you getting a kidney that you waited forever to get and then your gone! There certainly isn't any guarantee is there Joe! Want to let you know you are thought about often. Hugs for Mary and your family.
