        Words are especially hard @ times like these ~ They have a way of seeming so pitifully inadequate ~

So very, very sad that You will be leaving Us soon ~ It's been a pleasure to know You even though only via

this list ~ You'll be Remembered & Missed ~

& Thanks So Much with Honoring Us by Providing the Opportunity for Us to try to say So Long & Thanks ~
