To a friend...

We just found out this morning that a dear friend we've not been so great at keeping in touch with, passed away last week - and we didn't know until this morning... It's heart breaking.

Jo Ann helped us buy our house, and ended up with one of our other good friends Pete Suarez. Why does life sometimes take you so much by surprise? I wish we'd know.

Jo Ann - we love you and miss you - and we know you're we're you'd longed to be... Pete we love you too.

Sadly an unhinged life isn't always an isolated hurt-free zone.
