Stuart(Money) what can I say! I will miss your many calls to keep your us in touch. I regret that our lives got so busy that we did not make our reunion happen sooner. Maybe you needed us! I wish you would have shared what was going on with your health. I cried the day I heard the news of your death and I'm crying now. God is very lucky to have you. I will try my best to stay in touch with your family and our sisters. This is my promise to you. love you much
