My dear cousin, Steve…I cherish our wonderful memories of Hawaii…
Your car that always needed water! You were so kind to let me stay a few nights with you.
You and your friend, Joe, came for a visit to San Francisco and you made a reservation at your Dad’s restaurant in Emeryville to surprise him. And we did! After we went out for drinks and then decided to head up to Lake Tahoe that same night. Of course, we weren’t dressed for winter weather but, hey, we were young and didn’t care.
I moved to Hawaii May ’73 and Carroll, Deedee and I got an apartment in the Makiki area. More fun was in our futures!
The LaRonde restaurant, The Grog Shop, clubbing more nights a week than we should have, playing tennis at night to beat the heat of day…
When you developed a fondness for my dearest friend, Carroll, and took her out on a date to a very exclusive restaurant. I sent you a picture with you both all dressed up…it was so sweet.
I enjoyed our drives to Redding (Danny did all the driving, which we really appreciated), and being able to see you several times last year, holding your hand and seeing your tears. We were blessed to get that time with you. So glad we were able to do that.
I know we will be together again in a paradise earth where we will suffer no more and live that perfect life in perfect conditions. See you there my dear cousin!
I love you!
Janice
