Dearest Mary,
I am writing you this message to let you know how very much you are missed. I’m sure
you know that, already. It is hard for me to believe that I will, no longer, be
able to pick up the phone and just call to see how you are. I am happy that
you, no longer, have to go through anymore scans, tests, chemo….and no more
meds. You gave us, all, a hard time about being diligent in your own care.
We just wanted you to have the “best shot” possible. I’m sure you’re visiting
with family and friends, up there. I know your mom must be so happy to see you, along
with Nana, Diane and Deb. Please give them a hug, for me. I miss you, all.
You sent me such a beautiful card for my birthday. I never thought that just 4 weeks later
I wouldn’t be able to mail yours. There is a part of us, all, that will never be, quite, the
same. We had many “good times,” over the last 43 years. Those memories will, always, remain in my heart. Until we meet, again, Mary.…May you always
remember how much you’re loved and missed and may God hold you in the palm of
his hand.
BBF
