Say Hi to Eva for me Jon- I remember clearly the days I spent at your home pool floating around laughing and joking with Eva until we cried! You always looking over the deck rail telling us how goofy we were acting like kids! Then always asking what we wanted to eat on the grill- those were some perfect days I miss you both and the friendship we shared - so see you both on the flip-side when my time comes. When you run into Jesse tell him I love him and
miss him too.
