Van... I can't believe you have left us.. Gosh I have so many great memories of you... They are countless. I have known you since 1988 and you have always been a friend, a mentor, the person that could make me laugh when no one else could.... One time he called me into office at CA blasting the mission impossible theme song on a boom box wanting me to solve a mystery for him.. I don't think I ever laughed so hard.. Any ways Van I love you for who you were in my life and Sally I am so very sorry for you loss and you are in my prayers...May GOD hold Van in his loving arms and until we all meet again... xo
