We know this day was coming. We did not know when, but when it came, it was on your terms. You were a great friend. A shoulder to lean on. Always there with a smile and an open heart. You and mom had started a great Christmas tradition with me and then also including my wife that still goes on in our hearts. I never had a friend that you could just sit and talk for hours and always depart that much happier and that much secure about the future, And when I got hurt and was in careone rehab, which you followed me in there you said (commanded) me to walk. I am missing you already. Lynn and I can not forget you. Even to this day when I see a school bus driving itself its because Mom is behind the wheel..
