Eric,

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to visit you. Hearing you say my name in that deep southern drawl of yours made the whole trip worth it! Also, thanks for guiding me in the art of eating green chilis.

You put up a good fight, now rest, you deserve it. I'll be seeing you, "cuz"!

Love, "Mary Beth"

PS - EJ, you're a wonderful man, it's no wonder your dad was so proud of you.
