To Mon Ami . . . we go back roughly 30 years! To our first days at Isham, through our last at Schiff . . . we have shared a lot. I will always treasure our memories; we've share much! Train rides, car rides, going for coffee together on the way to work, lunches and all those wonderful books!!! But mostly I will treasure our time of smiles and laughter and your warm, caring ways. I hope you can read this up in heaven. I prayed and prayed for you, but I guess God needed you up there. At least you are at peace and in comfort. I will see you again some day in God's special kingdom, mon ami. All my love, Dar. And to Dennis, may God give you peace during this difficult time.
Lots of love,
