David...and then there was one. The big brother us girls never had. If Pat hadn't started out as my friend in school all those years ago, we wouldn't have had you, or Buddy, or your mom, in our lives. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I didn't know Buddy's kids, I'm sure they are wonderful. Thinking of you. Take care.
Love, Nise
