    Dear friend, you are already missed. Your smile when you saw a friend, the confidence in all you were confronted with, the love you had for all your family and the appreciation you had for all they did for you. Your sister who was so dear to you. You introduced so many of us to new places to play poker and you loved your pitch plus you could out cook us all. . Your our legend and have created a hole in our hearts.
