Friends for Many Years
It has been nice to read that Chris had worked on his life to make it better and that his new wife Karen seemed to make him so happy and I can certainly see he made her extremely happy. Thank you to some of Karens family for writing me, I appreciate it. Like I said, I went through years of the good times and bad, we were friends for a long time.

In all of the years that we have known Karen, I'd never seen her happier than she was with you. Your smile lit up the room and made me proud to call you my friend. The pictures that we took that night, some of which we framed and gave you on your wedding night, captured that smile, that glow,...
