Winters playing canasta, eating out, shopping in the warmth. The many cruises we took and the fun we had. Looking forward to seeing what you were wearing. Your sense of style was perfect. Loving the scarves you gave me. Taking Gary as your "boyfriend", I was happy to share. We loved being with you and will miss you greatly. Eileen & Gary
