I know we haven't stayed in touch as much as we should have and we are truly sorry for that, but we wanted to let you know you guys have never left our thoughts. We drive by and through the old neighborhood and think of our times there and of our great neighbors of which you guys come to the forefront. We are definitley glad to have shared a very small piece of Wes's life and yours as well. Thank you.
