Dear Diane, You've been on my mind allot lately. Now I know why. I'm so sorry that I didn't catch on and give you a call. We were friends at Mt. Lebanon U.P. youth group as teens. We renewed our friendship as we met again at our high school class reunion. What a blessings it was to share our love of Jesus which was just one of the special things that we had in common. Rest in peace, dear one, as you're reunited with Tom.
