I never thought I'd be signing your guest book. I know you fought with all you had. You're in no pain now and with Tim and family and other friends. We just talked about 2 weeks before the accident about how many of our old friends we had lost. I know its a reunion going on. I'm going to miss our chats and you! We never got to go eat so now you'll have to save us a seat in heaven at the table. Gonna miss you terribly. Love you my friend! Jill & Bill Boyle
