I will miss you. Even though we did not see eachother that often, eachtime was memorable. I will leave this quote in your book to Aunt Barbie, Ellen, Steve and Andy and that is, "I hold it true, whate'er befall;

I feel it, when I sorrow most;

'Tis better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all."



Love,



Siobhan
