Gil, There is so much to say, but hard to find the words. I can't thank you enough for the person you were to me. You were there for me when I needed you. You and Rita were like my best friends the last few years. It sure will be strange without you, but you are in a better place. No one deserves to suffer the way you did the last week, it was hard to see you that way. I hope now you find peace, but we sure will miss you down here, So good bye for now my friend, I love you.
Love Claire
