To call you a friend would be inadequate. Whether it was daily canal walks to Starbucks, trips to see the latest movie release, evenings in the swimming pool, hikes up the hill on the Fourth of July to watch the valley fireworks , or pre-Thanksgiving bowling followed by midnight Waffle House, time with you was entertaining for the soul. We could certainly push each other’s buttons, but your sudden departure has left the world less colorful. I hope that you are now basking amid the emotional...
