Jim,

It's definitely been far too long. The words still evade me. Such a tuff subject. I hope you're well in heart. These "reminders" are usually more painful than rewarding, for sure. All I have is my love and appreciation of the two of you. She was soo sweet and brilliant. (awesome food!!!) her legacy too me. The mark she left on me... I can only imagine the void that is left for you. All is well as waits for you in Heaven, brother. Much love, C&E...
