Dear Gloria,

Ah, so much time has passed . . . so many very happy, fun memories, so many fun times, so many late nights, so much laughter - not one bad memory from the whole bunch. John, what a great man - kind soul, always a ready smile on his face, always so positive and happy and helpful. Such a gentleman - true in every sense of the word. Men like John are few in the world. You, so fortunate to spend so many years with him. Me, lucky to have met you and through you, him. My heart goes out to you.

Your friend always,
Renata
