My best memory, when you walked into white tower 49 years ago. I kept only two pictures of that day. You were as I stated many times, the best of my young adult life. Your love for your family was unconditional. I'm sad your gone but peace is knowing your at rest, free of all pain and loneliness. Your memories will stay with me always and in all ways. Patty
