Missing Cleve at Christmas

I am so grateful for the 6 years that Cleve and I spent time together here at Stoneridge Creek. He was certainly an unexpected surprise I found when I moved here. For the last couple years he helped me put up my Christmas tree and hung the fresh pine wreath on my balcony. We enjoyed listening to Christmas music while having eggnog or a holiday cocktail. I remember his wonderful smile and beautiful blue eyes. He was a true gentleman with a nice sense of humor. When I first met Cleve I was impressed by the volunteer work he did for the Discovery Shop and Kaiser. He was a delightful travel companion. We had six great adventures together with Road Scholar, American Cruise line and Crystal Cruise line. It was a blessing to be able to spend time with him during the pandemic.
