Over the course of the last 11 years you and I shared so many things, and on so many levels, that nothing I wrote could ever convey the depth of my feelings of personal loss.
On the other hand, that is also true of the extent to which you enriched my life, and me as a person. Those changes, which made me a much better person, are just one of the ways in which you are still here amongst us.
