Ruggiero, Richard

22 years ago today, June 13, 1988 it all changed; and I still remember. Your friendship, your love and devotion, your acceptance and willingness to share; I still remember. You were a powerful influence upon my life and continue to be, even now. I still hear your voice and see you smile; I still remember the long talks, and the cherished memories and lesions of life so willingly shared. So much has changed, so many more we had lost; but I still remember; I will always remember; and I will see you again. I will see you and all who have made me who I am today; and I will remember.

I still remember........... and I still miss you. I am who I am today in part to our endearing friendship which has carried me through the years.

34 years ago today. I remember, and I thank you for changing my liefe and my perspective of life. You remain and I am who I am today in part because of you. Until then my friend.
