My Dearest Kim, I am so very sorry to hear about Neil passing. I know how devastated you are now but I also know how many fond memories you have after all these years. Your husband had so many good friends and I consider myself to be fortunate to have been one of his friends. He was truly an officer and a gentleman. We could ask no more of him. God Bless you Kim.
