Even though I never got to meet you personally, I have heard about many of the good times you shared with your very close friend, Elaine, through her treasured memories of you and that you will be a great loss to her and your own family. Sounds like you and her had a wonderful friendship throughout the decades of time. Rest in Peace now.
