You were such a wonderful friend in our college years at Grove City College, Pa. I was sad when we lost touch when you moved many years ago. I am so happy that you found me when I moved to Florida and we were able to enjoy college memories and make new ones.

I will miss your smiling face, upbeat attitude, and yes those eye rolls that Debbie mentioned. I will also miss our long weekend explorations of areas such as Key West, Savannah, etc. New Year's Eve just won't be the same without you.

I still can't believe you've gone to that "other world" you mentioned last Saturday, but I'm glad I was able to visit with you one last time. You were loved by many and will certainly leave a hole in many lives. I'm happy that you are no longer in pain. Enjoy that other world. May it bring you peace and joy.

You have left a huge void in my life -movies galore, opera, concerts, museums, eating out...great conversations. I will cherish the many good times and memories always.
Rest in Peace...you will be missed.

This is still unreal to me. I will miss our travel adventures, musical endeavors, accounting "chats" and your patented eye roll. I know you are at peace now, with your mom and all your kitties and doggies. Rest well, my friend.
