Your words give me hope that finding such a friend is still possible in these dark times
+ in the winter of my life...

You wonderfully describe attributes that contribute to a legacy that will far outlive
our fleshly carcasses... If I'm given a new year, these will be written on my heart...

Thank you for sharing such an intimate portrait, John. You + Rory were both blessed +
a blessing... .
