Goodbye old friend. We had many fun times and made a lot of pleasant memories together, spanning over 60 years. You had a good heart. Hours of conversations finding solutions to every problem, you gave so much of yourself. I appreciated you.
The painful part is knowing how much you suffered. You were a fighter, a valiant warrior until the end. I find solace in knowing you are at peace now. You will be missed.
