Dawn, I thought of you today when I read this poem. I know how much you loved him and how much he loved you. You are in my thoughts and please remember that you are not alone. We all love you and are here for you during this sad time. Karen I wish heaven had a phone so I could hear Your voice again. I thought of You today, but that is nothing new. I thought about You yesterday, and days before that too. I think of You in silence, I often speak Your name. All I have are memories...Your picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part. God has You in His arms, I have You in my heart.

My condolences to Joe's wife and family. To George and John, I fondly remember the times we got together, especially the trips to Wrigley Field with Aldy and Joe, and the many pit stops we would make along Lincoln Avenue.Rick
