Dear Leslie and Drew,
We share so very many beautiful, funny (Dave laughing until he couldn't stop, finding him with big straw hat and required 2 beers floating in our pool after a day of mowing the lawn) loving memories. We will always cherish our years with you as our back door neighbors.
Our times together will always be the best of our lives, thank you for that.
Until we see you again, we raise our glass to a life well lived and to many who love you.
Barb and Lou
