Dedications

What would Junior High have been without you? I don’t remember anything about that time except for our friendship. You and I had such a great time back then, I can’t tell you how much you impacted my life during those years. I am sure if things would have turned out different, our lives would still be just as close today. Unfortunately, lives do change and we have gone our separate ways. If it wasn’t for your occasional emails now and then I would be lost with out your wonderful insight and charming ability to make happiness grow from simple […]

Ah, the queen mum. Gosh, my life would have been so boring without you around, at least the part in Seattle. You introduced me to so many new people and places that it is hard to imagine you not being around anymore. I always remember the fun we had, trying to either cheer the other up during bad times or convincing each other that we should go out and be social. I can’t ever begin to tell you how much your friendship is cherished, if it wasn’t for you, so many things wouldn’t have happened and so many moments in […]

There are so many people who I wish to thank here. First and foremost is Ron. He was my mentor and steady beacon. Some of the many other faces that stand out are Rya, what a powerhouse of energy. Her efforts to better our community are still felt today. Lisa, I still have the article you wrote. You included a paragraph at the bottom wishing me luck in my adventures in Seattle. You and I had a good time. Kim, I had so much fun knowing you. I had a crush on you for the longest time. Fran, your independence […]

My only sister. I have such fun memories of you as a kid. I am sure you don’t think of them as fun, but to me and Marc, we enjoyed your routine of babysitting so much. Yes, I worry about you and your habits you have gotten in to but at the same time, you care about your kids and watch over them like a mother should. You have participated in thier lives and guided them throughout the years. That I am very proud of. My biggest wish is that you will let go of the nasty habits you have […]

Our friendship might have ended on a bad note but my appreciation and love never did. I wish you could have understood the difficulties I was facing but needless to say I was also responsible. Not being up front about the things in my life that you should have know about is no way to treat a friend. I am sorry to hear about Bart and hope that you have found the happiness you both had sought. I still cherish the memories of our friendship and all that you have done to better my life. Without you, I am not […]

Even though you have passed on to a higher plane, I include this as my way to say thank you. You probably never realized how much you touched my life. We weren’t that close and didn’t talk as much as I would have liked but in so many ways, you showed me the values of expression. You could take a moment on the town and bring highlights to everyone around you. I’ll never forget your performances and the work you went through to create those images. I wish I could have said goodbye, you will be missed.

Sometimes people come in to your life only to pass through and then vanish the next day. Our friendship has been a trial of fire but then that is what makes you so unique and why you shine above the normal. We have knocked heads and fought our battles but each time, we learn something new not only about the other but about ourselves. I couldn’t be more proud to have a friend like you in my life. Thank you for being there and for sticking it out through the long haul.

It seems like another lifetime since we last saw each other. I can’t remember how we said good-bye or if we even had a chance. I remember only the moments we spent playing on the playgrounds and my visits to your home. I still have the memory of our skating adventure at my house with you and Jennifer. We had so much fun, it is hard to believe we never stayed in contact. I wish I could know you today, if nothing more but to say hello. You always struck me as the type to succeed, I hope that is […]

It has been years since we last talked, High School actually. I am sorry that our friendship ended so abruptly. It wasn’t what I had hoped. I am proud to have had you in my life and contributing to my taste in science. It may have only be science fiction that we thrived on but as the clock ticks on, it seems that our world finds much of the fiction we us to dream up outrages … now real. I hope your life is filled with good health and happiness. Never forget the fun times we had in school. It […]

You still look as handsome as you did the day I snapped that blurry photo of you while visiting Bart and Alan’s, way to many years ago. I can’t tell you how much your friendship has meant to me over the years and I will never be able to thank you for hanging on to me through the dark moods you had to endure. We haven’t talked since your trip back from Europe and so much has changed. Much stays the same but as my life keeps going I haven’t had your shoulder to cry on. It’s my fault for […]
