Deverne, I couldn't believe it when Joanne called to tell me about B.T.'s death. I am so sorry. In addition to his great love of golf, I was always impressed with his devotion to you. I am sorry I could not be with you at his funeral. May you always remember the good times the two of you had together. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. t

To My Dearest DeVern,
With my deepest sympathy I send this message to you;
When somebody dies, a cloud turns into an angel, and flies up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow. A bird gives the message back to the world, and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry. People disappear, but they never really go away. The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the daytime, when they're supposed to be sleeping. They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide. They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And, when they sing windsongs, they whisper to us, “Don't miss me too much. The view is nice and I'm doing just fine.”
DeVern know that I love you and that I am here for you.
P.S. I can still hear B.T. saying to me whenever I called "don't talk so fast". ;)
