To my dear friend Kathleen,

I am so missing my good friend and one of my very favorite people, Don. His smile, energy, joie de vivre and coral colored polo shirt are forever etched in my memory. My last package of wild boar sausage will remain unopened in the freezer. His passing leaves a huge hole in my heart...

With love,
Meat
