Dearest Gonzaga,
Thinking of you today, Tuesday, October 15th on what would have been your 51st birthday! As I quietly celebrated my own birthday this past weekend, I reflected on our wonderful shared birthday celebrations in the past at our favorite Chinese buffet, and how MUCH I miss our time together! As I get older, I realize just how precious life really is, and how IMPORTANT it is to acknowledge the people we LOVE as often as possible.
Thank YOU Gonzaga for ALWAYS being such a GENUINE, loving friend with a GREAT sense of humor, intellect and passion without limits, and a BEAUTIFUL heart of gold! I am TRULY BLESSED for having experienced the gift of YOU in my life! Although it saddens me that we have been "apart" for so long, and I yearn to pick up the phone and hear your voice tell me, "Life is Gooooooood!!!!," I want you to know that you will FOREVER live on in my memories and in my heart until we meet again!
With Love & Blessings,

Thanks Christine for the beautiful sentiment. I completely agree that with the passage of time I only grow in my appreciation of this incredible man and what a gift he was for too short a season of my life.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reuniting with you someday Gonz "on the other side" to celebrate and pay up on all the birthday hugs we missed out on down here!
With fondest thoughts,
Paul
Dearest Gonz,
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
We do miss you so, our long conversations late into the night (morning!), your visits to us across the country despite your busy schedule, your contagious laugh!
I miss you and Bake interrupting each other all the time! %-)
You will live forever in our hearts...you left us so many wonderful memories...
We love you!
