The hole your passing created can never be filled. But my memory is full of our fun times, our planned & unforeseen adventures & the advice I was not always asking for, but was always glad to have gotten. The two things you told me long ago still hold as true today, as they did over twenty years ago... No good deed goes unpunished ( but it´s usually worth it ) And you were so right... The Universe Does Not operate on my schedule. Both of which you have proven to me one last time. I will always cherish our friendship & everything it brought us. Holly & the "Lads" have expressed their love & sentiments as well. There is a new Red Japanese Maple tree planted by the pool in your honor. Safe Celestial Travels my dearest friend.
