Karen, you and Ron (Chief) hold a unqualifiedly unique place in my life and that of my family that is difficult for me to explain or understand.
I've had a father and a mother, but still the two of you are there.
I have a sister and brothers, and still the two of you are there.
I've had mentors and counselors, and yet the two of you are there, and I've had intimate friends and the two of you are there too.
All of these things you guys have been to me and yet you might not recognize when you had time to be all that to me! It is true that in the entire scheme of things that we really haven't spent much time together... which is exactly the point. I too am unable to account for the time and opportunity that all of this could have occurred in me, but it has. Unexplainable, true, but believe me, you two have impacted all aspects of my life.
I will miss Ron and am so glad for the time that I've spent with him. He seemed to me to be thoughtful and content... accomplished even.
You've been a wonderful and caring life partner for Ron... He has been a happy person and I envy his achievements and his loving ways.
I will hold our memories dear and commit to always do "Chiefy" things!
I love guys!
Pam and Lamont Pickett Sr.
