I remember when Kip and I were growing up we would go see Bruce Lee movies. We also would see Saturday Night Fever, we would see it over again. I loved those times. Also we would talk for hours on the phone. I will miss them times, and I will miss him, but I know I will see him again. Love you always Kip, Love Paulette
