RIP PATRICK SWAYZE

When I lived in California, I had the good fortune to briefly meet this talented young man and his beautiful wife since they just lived down the road from us, which is a very California thing.

He was lovely and gracious and charming and very very attractive! And now, he has lost his battle with pancreatic cancer and is in a place with no pain, no illness. Our hearts and prayers go out to his lovely wife, his marvelous and talented mother and his brothers, all of whom will be grieving the loss of someone so special.

He did give us "the time of our lives" and we didn't really know what a brief time we'd have with this talented and wonderful young man.
