FROM MIKE

Hi Deb, Dear friend, I love you.

As I write this, I started thinking of all the trips we have taken - Mazatlan, Kuaui, New York City, the coast, Sayulita - and how much fun we have had and how we have grown to be such close friends. Well now we are on another trip together. The trip back to your good health. I think we all will learn to be healthier, more loving and better people on this trip.

You are such a huge part of my life and always will be. We will spend alot of time together, growing old together - playing bridge, diminishing bridge, hand and foot, and "b" wh" "c". Going to the house boat. Checking in. Going to movies, yes, even those sappy ones. I have to tell you I did really like Mama Mia. I've been singing those songs since then. So I know we will keep singing those show songs, take more trips, and go out for dinner to catch-up on things, and now watch the grandchildren grow-up.

I want you to know that I think alot of you and now think of you alot. Everyday you are in my thoughts throughout the day. When I have a break or I am between things, I think of you and send you love and a prayer.

So, we will get through this, and we will all get through lots of things together in the years ahead. You are an amazing and wonderful person. I am glad you are my friend and it is an honor to be your friend. I love you lots, Mike
