We met through mutual friends  whom with all good intentions set us up on a blind date, only problem, one of us already had plans with an out of town visitor.  As such, a longterm running joke that I stodd him up on our first date, not true - he just did not get the nessage I could not make it that night.  However, I would be able to meet at the festival on Sunday,which we did, a meeting that lead to a great move to California, an incredible wedding with family and friends in Houston in 20001, and too many wonderful travel stories to mention here.  We have criss crossed the country in planes, trains and automobiles, we have had issues with all modes of travel but when the steering wheel fell off in Arkansas, and a little dog led us to a mechanic about a mile down  a dirt road,  we knew then angels were watching over us and especicially  when a misguided deer ran towards the windshield, thus totalling the car. I will miss my buddy and travel companion, husband and best friend more than words can tell.  Love U Tom, I loved you then, I love you now and I will love you always.  For, you meant the World to me.  Thank You For Your Love.
