Dearest John, you were loved and appreciated during the 48 beautiful friends that we were best friends. My heart hurts because I miss our long chit chats, especially about history. I miss knowing g that someone is not praying for me every day as you did. Our loss, my loss. Please give my late husband a big hug, whom you were best friends with while he was alive. You were such a kind, living, cari g kindred soul. You will truly be missed. I love you. Lin
