I, too, am sorry to lose yet another friend.  I had not heard anything of his passing until I got a notice that Judy left a comment on "memory" site.

R.I.P. my friend.

He had a great smile; we will all miss him.  Good-bye fellow Falcon.     Kenny Lomax made me aware of his passing.

Mike and Betty were both awesome.  I am sure they have found happiness being together again.  However, they will be missed here.

I just saw Mike and Jill's obituaries. As Dennis I question some of my life decisions and directions. How far I am from the end of this life's journey.

Cancer last year and now so many friends taking life's final journey. I must pray/meditate more.

Also, to all family members and friends I am so sorry for you and the communities loss.
