So many memories, I don't know where to begin. I am so glad we had those happy/sad days together in the hospital. You were so brave and didn't want to see me cry so you were your sweet, funny self, squeezing my hand so hard. Your children were wonderful through this whole thing. I got to know Tammy while we stayed at your beautiful home in Washington. She is wonderful. I will always remember you in that gorgeous Seabeck setting. I will keep you in my heart until we are together once more. You promised you'd be waiting for me. Karen
