with a grateful

This has been (and will continue to be) quite the journey. More about that later.

First, to my sons, Jeffry and Ricky – being right by my side meant the world to me. Interrupting your schedules and your family time without a second thought – all I could think of is how proud your dad must be! I could never repay you. My daughters Kerri & Isabel – what is left of my heart of course belongs to you for your love and support. I couldn’t possibly love you more.

Flowers from my siblings, Mark & Jane, Robyn and Lori & Jim. And from Tucson Metro Soccer League and Isabel & Ricky, Victoria and Alexander – You all made my broken heart smile!

Daily uplifting texts and emails from clients and long time friends, Peggy and Mary and Janet and Larry and Kathy and Karen – so appreciated. Texts and phone calls from dear friend, Pat – kept me going. How could I not mention little texts from Maxwell, Alex, Marluce, Mateo, Chase, Tristan, Victoria and Alexander checking up on Nana. Just getting one of your beautiful photos or sentiments soothed my soul. I could not possibly thank you all!

There will be more writing as I memorialize this unexpected journey. But for now, please accept my humble attempt at “thanks for caring”.
