It's not goodbye but until we see you again. You are in a glorious place, Jesus has called for you to come home. You won't be missing Paul anymore, I know he is with you and so all of the others that went before you. All of the worries of the world are gone and I am sure I will think of you often and of our memories. You will never be forgotten. I love you and I will miss you, Lennie
