    Oh Me-Gene ... Whomever would have thought that the last time we talked a week or so ago would have been our last ... you have taught me so much, the most precious being your admonishment from my casual "The Guy Upstairs" to a more reverant "Heavenly Father" ... for this I will always thank you ... your sending me Mom's Bible years ago, that I still use to this very day ... your willingness to help so many people, no matter how deserving ... and your capacity to love and forgive ... I will miss you always, Me-Gene, and am so very grateful to Heavenly Father for the Blessing of your presence in my life ... sleep well, Me-Gene and know that you are loved and missed beyond words ... Lots of Love, Di
