Was an honor to be your personal caregiver for the last 5 months Skip. You will never know how much you impacted my life. Was a pleasure to spend time with you. I'll keep the memories of our adventures out by the pool, cookouts, our trip's to therapy, the library and our favorite Mexican restaurant close to my heart always. I pray your playing your guitar in heaven with Jerry Garcia.
Fly high my friend

Skip was always great to work with and never failed to make your smile with his wicked sense of humor. Hadn't spoken with him in several years but our mutual friend Loudene Gee (also gone to Heaven) would hook us up and he would fill us in on the happenings of the "world". He will be missed. Nancy Russell, Senate colleague
