Farewell my friend...say hello to Jerry for me

Vi,
I am sure you still know what we are saying and feeling. Your hearing and ingenious cunningness kept all of us on our toes to the end.

So, thanks for the wonderful laughs. You, the "looks" only you could give, your wonderful cooking, block party contributions, and festive decorations will be missed.

We are especially grateful for having had the opportunity to have shared you during your stay at Evergreen. We were honored to have been able to be there for you. You and Virginia kept each other going and laughing.

You shared with us how much you love and will always love your son, know matter what, and I hope he feels this to the depth of his soul. You also said how you "could not imagine what your life would be like without Kathy in it" and how you had such a wonderful relationship with her. You said, "I don't know why she puts up with an ### like me, but I'm sure glad that she does!"

Raising a glass in your honor...to a woman who will not be forgotten.
