You remain forever in our hearts and in our thoughts. Jeff and Robbie and Jenna are still sorry about not taking that last Tavern fishing tournament as seriously as you did. (Not really.... but you all had fun, and it's still a very fond and funny memory.)
We will never forget (and probably will never again experience) the 5 star meal and 10 star treatment that we got at Norman's when you guys came down to stay with us after moving up to VA. We will also never forget the Tuesday fishing trips on "Another Reward" or the escorted dog walks around the Grove.
Chris, our very dear friend: Rest in Peace. We are so proud of you, and to have been friends with you, and most especially of your service to this country.
-Dorothy & Jeff
P.S. Weird guy Manny, from the Grove (the one that salivated all over Liz all the time), has his own freaking TV show on Discovery Channel these days. We miss you like all hell, but we're kind of glad you never had to see Manny in a camoflauge bananna-hammock, especially in hi-def!!
We love you and miss you. Mitzy-- if you read this, we've tried to get in touch with you numerous times, but don't know if still check your old email address. We're up in MD now, pretty close to WV and would love to get back in touch.
