Such a strong family resemblance. I can feel the love each word you've written my friend. Thanks for sharing the memories of your sister. Tim, too, links Valentines Day with sad events ... the deaths of his mom and his grandmother. So, in the 15 years we've known each other, we've not celebrated the day, but remembered.

Big HUGS!

My condolences.

You and I only had the opportunity to speak for a few minutes when we met - so I can't say that I really know you, IRL. I did however, enjoy reading this about your sister - and in one way you keep her memory alive, by passing them on for others to read and share in.

Hugs.

Thanks for your thoughts, Randal. Yes, I thought it was the best thing I could do to mark the day.

I hope to see you on the next Chumley's cruise where we should talk more. I hope your recovery from surgery is going well.

Michael, that was absolutely beautiful! You and your parents are in my thoughts and prayers all the time, but even more so today. She was an amazing young woman and I count myself as being blessed to have been her cousin. Love you!
