MY DEAREST, ‘BIG AL”, A DAY DOES NOT GO BY THAT I DON’T THINK OF YOU. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE FUN TIMES WE HAD AT CHAPIN. I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH AND REMEMBER ALL THE GIFTS FOR MY BIRTHDAY, ALL THE CHRISTMAS DEDORATIOINS YOU MADE. REMEMBER, I ALWAYS SAID, “WHY DON’T YOU OPEN UP YOUR OWN GIFT/FLORIST SHOP”? I NEVER MET SUCH A TALENTATIVE PERSON IN MY LIFE. YOU WERE THE GREATEST.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE “PICK UPS” AT BING TO DROP OFF MY CAR. THANKS FOR ALL THE LUCKY LOTTERY NUMBERS, THANKS FOR ALL YOUR JOKES, PRANKS, AND YOU HAD SOME GOOD ONES WITH A STRAIGHT FACE.

THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND, “BIG AL”. I MISS YOU AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR SMILE.

MAY GOD BE WITH YOU.

LOVE RUBY
