I was your insurance care manager for many years and continued as your friend as you are a very kind person and also because we both love NFL games. I know that you're in a better place, without suffering as you did on this earth.
We will see you on the other side one day but for now, I will pray and think of you often. I'm sorry that you and your family were unable to meet me up on the top of Mt. Cristo Rey as we had planned.
You certainly will be missed greatly.
