Suzie,
My heart just breaks for you!
You always spoke so endearingly of your "best friend" and husband.
I know how much you loved him as he did you.
I'll keep you in my prayers.

Sue,Diane&Carol, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. The last time I saw Mike was at Main Gate with Jane & Marie. Gosh that was over 20 years ago. Where did the time go. Wish we had kept in touch. Diane, I keep meaning to get in touch with you, I had your address to write but misplaced it. Please resend it to me. I would like to re-connect with family. It's just been too long. Again,my deepest sympathy to all.

Dear Sue and Family,
Long, long ago, I had the privilege of hanging out with Muck at Fritz's Pub and other crazy places. Muck was a special man, smart and what a great sense of humor. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.
