I will miss you. You always had smile on your face when I came to visit you at The Grove at Greenville. You always had something to share with me. God bless you.
Duane,
I am so grateful I was in Greenville and visited you in May. My heart pours out to you. I remember the days of growing up and running the halls of the K of C back in our younger years. Many years passed and when I became a frequent visitor of White Cliff, we reunited. I enjoyed visiting with you when I came to town and talking about everything and anything. It meant a lot to me when you would pop in and visit my Dad and Step Mom at the Grove to see how they were doing. They always mentioned your visits. We always use the Steelers blanket you gave me last year. In fact it stays in my living room. It now holds an even more special meaning to me. Your strength at daily existence over the past years are commendable. Your are now at peace my friend. You no longer have to suffer. Your reunion with your Mom and Dad was a joyous occasion I am sure. I wish you happiness since you have now started this chapter in you everlasting life.
Tom
