April 4 ,
I woke up from sound sleep early this morning with thoughts to call and check in on you as it´s been a while. Jumped on the computer oddly out of the blue to google your name, I feel it was a visit from you saying hello knowing my call to you today would go unanswered. I know it will only a brief time until we meet again my friend.

When your mother and yourself left FLORIDA, I felt like I lost my best buddy but keeping in touch over the years was fulfilling enough for me, just like we did by your pool many ,many years ago. I know you are in a better place and hanging out with all who have gone ahead of us. Apart from the body , together with the Lord! Life is but a short breath.

May GOD be with and comfort your family during this time.
