Chris,
I am so sorry that I lost touch with you. The things that we promised we would do together.. and places that we said we would go.. unfortunately, we never got around to doing…Â
Oh gosh.. we even joked about getting married someday when we hit our senior years..but you left too soon.. Â
Love always,
Brenda Leigh (Harris) Torres
