Earl --- I am going to miss our conversations --- especially when I get in the car to drive to another town, attend one more conference --- you were always there, always supporting me, always laughing with me, always really to debate with me about just anything debatable -- haha! Your presence will be in my spirit forever --- love you, always --- your little sister, jennifer ' aka peppermint to you', although I ain't that skinny no mo!
