We three couples, the Gershons, the Goldbergs and the Grossmans, the "three G's," as we called ourselves, had lots of good times and made wonderful memories together.
As a foursome Geoff (of blessed memory) and I, Bob and you, Sally, enjoyed a ski trip to Park City, a summer in Aspen. It seems like yesterday that we had a New Year's celebration in Oro Valley with you and your AZ friends. Leave it to Geoff to dash off to meet our son Andrew to watch a football game and be back in time for midnight!
Oh, how we loved you, Bob, and ached for the pain and suffering you endured. And how I hurt for you, Sally, as you suffered along with him.
Now you and I need to carry on, with even more memories and photos to sustain us.
