Larry:

It's been many years, my friend, and I am sorry for your loss, but at the same time, I'm glad Marj is no longer suffering, as I've experienced it, first- hand with a loved one, but not a life-long, best friend, partner.

God Bless You

Larry,

I was sad to see Marj's suffering all that pain and discomfort for so long. You both had been in my memory as San Francisco friends.
I shared a kind of bond when I was scared to death about the pituatary tumor I had and felt a lot better after contacting Marj after you retired to share her experience. And of course, Marj's bold dealing with the panhandler is another fond memory. I am so glad to have had the opportunity to stop by and say hello to both of you this year.

You have long been a Postal Inspector I often bragged about and was the classy guy I wanted to be, when I grew up. I enjoyed all the Audit travel and many wonderful meals with you. Lora and I send you a Smile and a Hug.
