Such a dear old friend! Meeting you in high school, dating you and then when I let you go, you fell in love with my bestest friend, Margaret. We were part of an even larger group of old friends. There was nothing like those good old days, but that did not end our friendship. Your twins and mine and Glenn's 2 oldest boys played together when we gals had our lunches and gab session days. To this day, one of my bestest friends is Margaret. I am so sad to see you go. I am concerned for her. She will miss you and be so lonely for you. My heart is sad today. See you in Heaven, Jim.
