Focused at Fifty

  Happy 90th Birthday to my wonderful Dad whose birthday was on Sept. 23rd, 2020! He is simply my hero, my mentor, my best friend, my inspiration, and my role model! I am in awe of you Dad! Love you! ♥️🥰😏

"Heather and I. She's drinking a Blue Moon. LOL" Last Saturday, I was asked, along with good friends Jamie and Miss Morag, to pay my respects and speak at the memorial service of my dear friend Heather Boyer. She had recently passed away after a valiant fight with a rare brain disease. Heather knew she wanted to battle this disease, if only for the very reason of helping to advance the treatment and understanding of it to hopefully prevent others from suffering from it in the future. She lost her battle but she made such an incredible impression of bravery and courageousness on her friends and family. Being asked to speak at a dear friend's service is one of the most honorable and humbling requests of service that one can be asked of. I did it without a second's thought. It was a sad day. It was one of laughter and tears, as it should be. Her husband and children were so strong. God bless them.  Many of you have asked me to reprint my eulogy so I am obliged to do
