    Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote “what lies in front of you and what lies behind you pales in comparison to what lies inside you”.

    inside you was a loving soul that was generous, kind and compassionate. It was a pleasure to know you, work with you and call you friend. I am better person for having you on my path in life.
