Thoughts of you & your colorful life will always bring a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing laughs with me & thank you for the true graciousness you showed me. (thankful you never shared the antonym of graciousness with me) I am pretty sure you are smiling at that! May God's Love Bless You & Keep Safe & Heal all those who love you.
