My dear friends, Doreen, Lisa, and Keith, I was so sorry to hear about your dad. I'm sorry that I was unable to attend the service because it would have been so awesome to see you guys and give each of you a big bear hug! I was going through photos a few months ago and came across a photo of all of us when we were 2 to 6 years old. We all looked shy and innocent and we all had spindly legs. You guys were our first and best friends. Peggy and Bob were such cool parents. I loved them! Decades have passed and so have loved ones. I've only recently found out about Peggy's passing and your sweet sister Paula. So very sorry that you guys had to deal with that heartbreak. I just wanted to offer my condolences and I hope that you're all thriving, healthy and happy. I hear that there's this new fangled technology called Facebook! Perhaps I can find you on there! I'll send along the picture!
I still remember Nana and the time that we all went to Jolly Charlie's! Would love to see you all someday! Love, Light , and Joy to you, dear old friends.
