I've lost my best friend, so how do you put 57 yrs of memories in this little box. Julie & I have had so much fun together both here and in Las Vegas. We stayed with them when we moved back and we enjoyed having them live with us in Dolores and in Vegas when things were tough. We did everything together from kids sports, travel to games to non stop card games. If we were down they were here for us and we were always here for them. I was supposed to go before you Julie my friend & would be waiting on the other side for you. I don't know what I'll do without your smiling face, our New Years eves & all the things we've shared. This world is a very sad place for me now but I've got to keep on going till we meet again. Have that Baileys & Coffee waiting.
